Claims18
An electrically conductive yarn comprising stainless steel fibers, wherein said electrically conductive yarn has a linear electrical resistance in the range of 0.1 Ω/m to 395 Ω/m, and characterized in that said electrically conductive yarn comprises at least one elongated element, said elongated element having an outer surface being provided out of metal or metal alloy having a lower specific electrical resistance than said stainless steel fibers, said stainless steel fibers having an equivalent diameter less than 35 μm, said stainless steel fibers having an equivalent diameter more than 0.5 μm.
An electrically conductive yarn, comprising:
- stainless steel fibers, wherein the electrical resistance of said stainless steel fibers is in the range of 500 Ω*mm2/km to 900 Ω*mm2/km;
- at least one elongated element, said elongated element having an outer surface being provided out of metal or metal alloy having an electrical resistance in the range of 15 Ω*mm2/km to 500 Ω*mm2/km;
- and
- wherein the electrically conductive yarn has a linear electrical resistance in the range of 0.1 Ω/m to 395 Ω/m.
