Abstract

arrangement for theft protection of copper cables and copper conductors by additional Introduction of galvanized iron wires (2) in the resulting Gusseting in front of the outer layer of copper wires (1)

Description

The The invention relates to the theft protection of copper cables and copper cables.

Of the Invention is based on the problem of theft protection in copper cables and to reach copper pipes, which could steal the potential thieves makes it unprofitable. Due to the high copper prices are always more copper and copper cables stolen and scrapped.

The object is achieved in that in the manufacture of the copper conductor according to drawing 1 in addition to the copper wires ( 1 ) in the resulting gussets before the outer layer galvanized iron wires ( 2 ) are incorporated. This can be done in all gussets or even in part without resulting in an increase in the outer diameter.

Besides, too single copper wires or copper wire bundles through galvanized iron wires or iron wire bundles be replaced without enlarging the External diameter or with only a small magnification of the Outside diameter.

At Place the galvanized iron wires can also plastic threads or textile threads be introduced.

Before application or insulation of the copper conductor Drawing 2 ( 5 ) runs in addition a plastic tape or other tape according to drawing 2 ( 3 ), preferably in fluorescent color. The copper conductor can also be wrapped with this tape.

The Plastic band or a corresponding other band is preferably marked with the reference to the theft protection.

Also on the outside of the insulation drawing 2 ( 4 ) is preferably an indication of theft protection appropriate.

Before connecting the cable or before attaching the cable lugs or sleeves, after removing the cable insulation in this area, the band on the copper conductor, drawing 2 ( 3 ) folded back and is clearly visible as a label from. Drawing 3 ( 3 ).

Summary

By the insertion of iron wires, plastic or textile threads in the copper conductor is the scrap value of the copper cable or Copper conductor set down considerably.

By the protruding band and the imprint on the cable are additionally marked, that a theft is not worth it.
