Method for producing an electrically conductive yarn, the electrically conductive yarn and use of the electrically conductive yarn

In a method for producing an electrically conductive compound yarn (13) from an electrically conductive metallic portion and a textile portion, the improvement comprising:

• laterally feeding the textile portion in a form of a plurality of slubbings (12) and simultaneously centrally feeding an endless electrically conductive monofilament metal thread (11) directly to a centered location of a spinning station (1) of a ring spinning machine;
• feeding the monofilament metal thread (11) nearly free of tensile force together with the slubbings (12) to the spinning station (1) after repeatedly stretching the slubbings (12) into a single compound yarn wherein the monofilament metal thread (11) is approximately centered within the single compound yarn;
• and
• subsequently passing on the electrically conductive compound yarn (13) for further processing with a draw-off device.
