Die gestellte Aufgabe wird bei einer Stromschiene der gattungsgemäßen Art erfindungsgemäß durch die The object is achieved according to the invention in a busbar of the generic type by the
kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den characterizing features of claim 1 solved. Further advantageous embodiments are in the

Kern der Erfindung ist, dass die Stromschiene als elektrisches Leitungssystem für ein aus The core of the invention is that the busbar as an electrical line system for a
zusammensteckbaren Traversen bestehendes Traversensystem im Messe- und Ladenbau eingesetzt wird, und dass durch Befestigung der Stromschiene bzw des zusammensteckbaren trusses existing truss system is used in trade fairs and shopfitting, and that by fastening the busbar or the
Stromschienengehäuses (2) an der Traverse (1) eine Busbar housing (2) on the crossbar (1) a
Zwangserdung des Traversensystems gegeben ist. Forced earthing of the truss system is given.
Mit der zur Traverse quasi parallel verlaufenden With the traverse to the quasi-parallel
erfindungsgemäßen Stromschiene bzw Stromschienenanordnung wird die Statik des Traversensystems nicht geschwächt. Durch die Anordnung der Steckkontakte an den Stirnseiten ist die erfindungsgemäße Stromschiene ebenso modular und steckbar wie das Traversensystem selbst. Wesentlich ist aber die erfindungsgemäße Zwangserdung der Traverse über die Befestigungselemente zwischen Stromschiene bzw Busbar or busbar arrangement according to the invention, the statics of the truss system is not weakened. Due to the arrangement of the plug contacts on the front sides, the bus bar according to the invention is just as modular and pluggable as the truss system itself. However, the inventive forced earthing of the crossbar via the fastening elements between the bus bar or bus is essential
Stromschienenanordnung und Traverse . Innerhalb des Busbar arrangement and traverse. Within the
Stromschienengehäuses sind die Befestigungselemente direkt geerdet, oder über eine Erdung des Busbar housing are the fasteners directly earthed, or via a ground of the
Stromschienengehäuses selbst. Somit ergibt sich in Lösung der Aufgabe ein modulares, einfach verlegbares  Busbar housing itself. Thus, results in solution of the task a modular, easy to install
Stromverteilungssystem, sowie eine sichere Erdung sowohl der Stromschiene bzw des Stromschienengehäuses der anschließbaren Verbaucher sowie der Traverse selbst. Auf diese Weise kann die sicherheitsrelevante Erdung der Traversenanordnung nie vergessen werden. Power distribution system, as well as a secure grounding of both the busbar or the busbar housing of the connectable Verbaucher and the traverse itself. In this way, the safety-related grounding of the truss assembly can never be forgotten.
Im Übrigen ist mit Stromschiene die Anordnung von Incidentally, with busbar, the arrangement of
Leiterschienen in einem Gehäuse gemeint. Üblicherweise werden solche Stromschienen auch als Ladder rails meant in a housing. Usually, such busbars are also called
Stromverteilerleisten bezeichnet, und bestehen aus einem länglichen Gehäuse in dem die Leiterbahnen oder  Power distribution strips called, and consist of an elongated housing in which the tracks or
Leiterschienen oder Kabel angeordnet sind, und diese mit Steckdosenkontakten verbunden sind, die am Gehäuse einer solchen Stromverteilerleiste angeordnet sind. Die einfachste Ausführung solcher Stromverteilerleisten ist die transportable Mehrfachsteckdose. Conductor rails or cables are arranged, and these are connected to socket contacts, which are arranged on the housing of such a power distribution strip. The simplest version of such power distribution strips is the portable multiple socket.
In weiterer, ganz erheblich vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist angegeben, dass jede Stromschieneanordnung des In a further, very considerably advantageous embodiment is stated that each busbar arrangement of the
Leitungssystems zusätzlich Datenleitungen enthält und dass entlang ihrer Länge auch verteilt Management system additionally contains data lines and that distributed along their length as well
Datensignalanschlüsse angeordnet sind. D.h. es werden auch Datenleitungen innerhalb dieser Stromschiene verlegt. Dies ist eine weitere deutliche Steigerung der Funktionalität. Die Leitungsanschlüsse sowie nunmehr auch die Datenanschlüsse können gleichermaßen durch die stirnseitig platzierten Steckkontakte von Stromschiene zu Stromschiene durchgeschleift werden. Das System ist somit sowohl für die Kraftstromverteilung als auch für die Datensignalverteilung modular. Data signal connections are arranged. This means that data lines are also laid within this busbar. This is another significant increase in functionality. The line connections and now also the data connections can equally be looped through the front-side plug contacts from busbar to busbar. The system is thus for both the power distribution as well as for the Data signal distribution modular.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist daher angegeben, dass die Datensignalanschlüsse XLR Kontakte zur DMX-Signalübertagung, oder XLR zur ADAT-Übertragung, oder Netzwerkbuchsen RJ45, wie z.B für Artnet etc sind. In a further advantageous embodiment, it is therefore specified that the data signal connections XLR contacts for DMX signal transmission, or XLR for ADAT transmission, or network sockets RJ45, such as for Artnet etc are.
Eine weiterhin vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ist, dass jede Stromschiene mindestens einen integrierten A further advantageous embodiment is that each busbar at least one integrated
Signalverstärker bzw Bussignalverstärker aufweist. Auf diese Weise entsteht eine integrale komplette und modulare Lösung, bei der keinerlei externe Signal amplifier or bus signal amplifier has. In this way, an integral complete and modular solution is created in which no external
Signalverstärker mehr nötig sind. An jeder Stelle eines so mit diesen Stromschienen ausgestatteten Signal amplifiers are more necessary. At any point of one so equipped with these busbars
Traversensystems liegt auch ein pegelstarkes Datensignal vor . Traversensystems also has a level-strong data signal.
In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass die Abmessungen der an den Traversen befestigten Stromschienen und der Traversen selbst so aufeinander abgestimmt sind, dass die Steckkontakte der Stromschienen beim Zusammenfügen der Traversen kontaktierend In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the dimensions of the busbars attached to the trusses and the trusses themselves are coordinated so that contacting the plug contacts of the busbars when assembling the trusses
ineinandergreifen. So ist das Stromschienensystem in gleicher Weise modular wie das Traversensystem. mesh. Thus, the busbar system is modular in the same way as the truss system.
Innerhalb der Stromschiene kann Einphasen-WechselSpannung verlaufen, aber auch Dreiphasen-Wechselspannung. Bei der Dreiphasigen Lösungen werden die einzelnen Phasen dann auf die verschiedenen Niederspannungssteckverbinder wie Steckdosen bzw Anschlüsse verteilt. So ist demnach weiter ausgestaltet, dass jede Stromschiene des Leitungssystems entlang ihrer Länge verteilt angeordnete Within the busbar can run single-phase AC voltage, but also three-phase AC voltage. In the case of the three-phase solutions, the individual phases are then distributed to the various low-voltage connectors such as sockets or connections. Thus, it is further configured that each busbar of the conduit system distributed along its length
Niderspannungssteckverbinder wie Schutzkontaktsteckdosen, oder CEE- oder Powercon- oder Hartinganschlüsse enthält. In weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist angegeben, dass jede Stromschiene zusätzlich zur externen Niderspannungssteckverbinder such as sockets, or CEE or Powercon or Harting connections contains. In a further advantageous embodiment is stated that each busbar in addition to the external
Einspeiseabsicherung in die Stromschiene integrierte Sicherungsautomaten zur Einzel -Absicherung der Feed-in fuse in the busbar integrated circuit breaker for single-protection of
NiederspannungsSteckverbinder bspw der Low-voltage connector bspw the
SchutzkontaktSteckdosen enthält. Auf diese Weise ist JEDE EINZELNE Steckdose lastmäßig limitierbar, so dass sichergestellt werden kann, dass die Stromtragfähigkeit der Steckdose selbst, sowie der in der Stromschiene selbst verlaufenden Hauptleitungen durch ein Vielzahl von aktiv BETRIEBENEN Steckendosen nicht überlastet werden kann. Diese Gesamtabsicherung erfolgt dann zusätzlich noch über die externe Einspeiseabsicherung. Dies ist ebenfalls ein wesentliches Sicherheitsmerkmal, was in herkömmlichen Stromschienen so in dieser Form gar nicht zu finden ist.  Safety contact sockets contains. In this way, EVERY SINGLE socket load is limited, so that it can be ensured that the current carrying capacity of the socket itself, as well as running in the busbar itself main lines can not be overloaded by a variety of actively operated sockets. This total protection then takes place additionally via the external feed-in protection. This is also an essential safety feature, which is not to be found in conventional busbars in this form.
Die oben genannte Ausführung wird somit so ermöglicht, indem die Absicherungsleistungen der Sicherungsautomaten jeweils so bemessen sind, dass diese kleiner oder gleich der gewünschten Stromtragfähigkeit der jeweiligen The above-mentioned embodiment is thus made possible by the hedging performance of the circuit breaker are each dimensioned so that it is less than or equal to the desired current carrying capacity of the respective
