Abstract (en)

[origin: DE3133049C1] A rail arrangement conducts the electrical direct current from a transversely positioned electrolysis cell (10), particularly for producing aluminium, to the cross member (38) of the next cell (12). The inherent magnetic field of the cell (10) is virtually completely compensated for if at least in each case two cathode (18) or connecting rails (20, 22) connected individually or group by group at the upstream cathode bar ends (16) lead to a connecting rail (28, 42) of the downstream cathode bar ends (30) or to a riser line (36, 40). A part of the connecting rails (20) passes completely under the cell at the cell centre and the other part also extends underneath the cell into the area of the longitudinal cell axis (L), then along this axis past the end face (24) and finally along the cell. <IMAGE>
