Siltajohteiden

Siltajohteiden, often translated as "bridge conductors" or "bridge wires," refers to electrical conductors specifically designed and used to span a gap or a discontinuity, most commonly in the context of connecting electrical systems across bridges or other structures that require a separation. These conductors are engineered to withstand the mechanical stresses of expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, as well as the environmental conditions typically found in outdoor bridge environments, such as wind, moisture, and vibration.

The primary function of siltajohteiden is to maintain electrical continuity where a direct connection would be impractical or impossible. This can include carrying power, control signals, or communication data across a bridge. The design considerations for these conductors often involve flexibility, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Materials used can include specialized alloys or stranded conductors to accommodate movement. They are typically housed within protective conduits or sheathing to further enhance their longevity and safety. The installation and maintenance of siltajohteiden are crucial for the reliable operation of the connected electrical systems.
