8 Claims

1. A current conductor made of braided wire and formed of braided groups of wire strands intersecting one another at an angle, wherein the angle of intersection between the groups intersecting one another is 90 °±30°, the braid has a closed cross-sectional profile, and a spacer insert is positioned within the cross section for preserving the shape of the profile, wherein the current conductor is used for current densities exceeding 5 A/mm2 and the strands in each group are insulated from one another, and said braided groups of wire continuously covering the outer surface of said spacer insert.
