Abstract
For purposes of protecting electrical installations in airplanes against electromagnetic disturbances and especially against overvoltages as can occur for instance as a consequence of a lightning strike, the electrical lines between the individual electrical devices are laid in flexible profiled tubes consisting of electrically conducting material and are rotatably connected with junction elements arranged on one side. At the same time the tubes are connected by means of these junction elements to charge dissipation points provided at the electrical devices. The lines laid in this manner are arranged in overbraiding of plastic material by way of chafing protection. In another embodiment, the chafing protection is provided by a plastic layer on the inside of the profiled tube. In still another embodiment, the chafing protection is itself a hose fabricated of fiber material.
