Electric current rail for lighting applications

The current rail uses one or more LV current rail elements (1) with at least two parallel conductor paths (3), each partially enclosed by electrical insulation (4) and embedded in the mantle surface of a cylindrical sleeve (2). A spring clamp (5) projects from the end face (2a) of the current rail element at one end, with a corresp reception recess at the opposite end face, allowing axially adjacent current rail elements to be fitted together, with their conductor paths electrically connected in series.Pref. the cylindrical sleeve is provided as an extruded aluminium profile, with diametrically opposing longitudinal indents for receiving the conductor paths.
