ABSTRACT:
An improved form of conductor wires utilizing a jacketing envelope for inclusion into a conveyor belt. Low coefficient of friction envelopes form small voids in the conveyor belt carcass to allow the conductors to freely move during flexing of the belt in service. The movement minimizes stress and breakage of the conductor. The belt with arrays of these conductors spaced along the length of the belt may be used in electrical or magnetic rip detection systems for sensing rips in long haul conveyor belts. When an array is damaged the conveyor system can be shut down to minimize the length of the longitudinal rips.
