Electrical conductor comprised of solid segments

Electrical conductor comprising:

• three or more solid segments of identical shape, wherein each segment comprises two lateral surfaces, which are configured for flush bearing against correspondingly opposing lateral surfaces on another segment, wherein the cross-sectional surface through all the constituent segments of the electrical conductor is describable by a closed curve having an essentially stepless characteristic,
• wherein the segments, on the lateral surfaces, which rest against each other, incorporate profiles which permit the mutual arrangement thereof in the unstranded state and which, in the stranded state, link the segments in a continuous, permanent and form-fitted manner,
• wherein the profiles only permit the arrangement, of a final individual segment to the other segments of the conductor, in a single direction that is substantially parallel to one lateral surface that bears the profiles, the single preferred direction extending radially from a longitudinal axis of the electrical conductor,
• and wherein all the constituent segments of the electrical conductor are stranded in combination.
