Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2975962A1] The invention relates to an aluminium smelter (1) which comprises a row (2) of electrolysis cells arranged transversely relative to the row (2), one of the cells comprising anode assemblies and electrical conductors for raising and connecting to the anode assemblies. The raising and connection conductors extend upwards along two opposing longitudinal edges of the cell. In addition, the aluminium smelter (1) comprises a first electrical compensation circuit (4) extending under the cells and capable of carrying a first compensation current (IC1) in the opposite direction to the electrolysis current (IE), and a second electrical compensation circuit (6) extending on one side of the row (2) and being capable of carrying a second compensation current (IC2) in the same direction as the electrolysis current (IE).
