  • the electrical conductors are in a certain distance from each other.
  • the size of this distance works in the chosen construction not on the height, but at most on the Width of the profile cross section.
  • the height can also be minimal that the two conductors are held side by side and not opposite each other are arranged.
  • the insulation material, which the ladder must be surrounded by has a certain dimension. at According to the invention, this dimension does not have a double effect, but only affects the Height of the profile cross-section.

According to the invention, the insert is on the side wall of the longitudinal channel. It is kept as thin as possible and can be just as wide as be the sidewall. It can be fixed positively or non-positively in the channel.
