Abstract :
In the paper, the direct current distribution in the rectangular cross-section strands of stranded conductor, in the case of crimped connection of two identical stranded conductors is studied. The influence of relative contact resistance and of the number of strands in conductor is analyzed. Two configurations are considered: interleaved and superposed strands. The contact resistances between adjacent strands are considered equal to each other.
