  • Strip conductor having an additional layer in a curved section
    Patent number: 6836207
    Abstract: A strip conductor comprises a first layer with at least one curved section. At least one region of the curved section provided with an additional layer having a smaller resistivity than the first layer. The at least one region is constructed such that resistance on tracks of different radii of curvature is approximately equalized.

  • Strip conductor having an additional layer in a curved section
    Publication number: 20040075520
    Abstract: A strip conductor has an additional layer (4, 8, 9) in regions (5, 6, 7) of a curved section (3). The additional layer has a smaller resistivity than the strip conductor. In this way, a more uniform distribution of the current flow transversely across the width of the strip conductor is achieved. High current densities at the curve inside (10) are therefore avoided.
