Abstract
An electric conductor, in particular for connecting the starter relay and starter motor of a motor vehicle, includes an ignition device (5), which is in thermal contact with the conductor (1) and is intended, if a limit temperature is exceeded, for igniting and destroying the conductor (1). The conductor (1) includes one or more strands extending continuously between the ends (3) of the conductor. The ignition device is disposed on the conductor (1) so as to split apart these strands in the event of ignition.
