Abstract
An electrical line (5) for electrically conductively connecting two units arranged in a motor vehicle, where the units have insulated electrical conductors surrounded by a common electrically effective screen. Over the entire length of the line (5) the construction of the line includes at least one light conductor (10) which is connected in the operating position to an evaluating unit (12) coupled to a switching element (11), and is integrated in the screen (9) of the line (5), or is arranged directly underneath the screen (9) of the line (5) while being in contact with the line (5), so that damage to the line (5) leads with certainty at least to a deformation of the light conductor (10) which leads to a signal which can be recognized by the evaluating unit (12).
Claims1
Electrical line for electrically conductively connecting two units arranged in a motor vehicle, where the units have insulated electrical conductors surrounded by a common electrically effective screen, said electrical line comprising:
- at least one light conductor is present in the construction of the line over the entire length of the line, and, in the position of operation is connected to an evaluating unit and is integrated in a screen of the line or directly underneath the screen while contacting the screen, so that damage to the line produces with certainty at least a deformation of the light conductor which results in a signal to be recognized by the evaluating unit.
