Abstract
A track for track bound vehicles, in particular for light rail vehicles. Includes a support element for supporting an electric conductor arrangement, which is adapted to produce an alternating electromagnetic field and—thereby—to transfer electromagnetic energy vehicle on the track. The support element confines spaces for receiving lines and/or wires of the conductor arrangement. An electrically conductive shield for shielding the alternating electromagnetic field extends along a plane below the spaces. A housing for receiving a power supply device for supplying electric power to the conductor arrangement is also provided.

16. An arrangement for building a track for track bound vehicles, wherein the arrangement comprises:
-
a support element supporting an electric conductor arrangement, which is adapted to produce an alternating electromagnetic field and - thereby - to transfer electromagnetic energy to vehicles on the track, wherein the support element confines spaces containing lines or wires of the conductor arrangement, an electrically conductive shield for shielding the alternating electromagnetic field, wherein the shield extends along a plane below the spaces, and a housing or cavity comprising a power supply device for supplying electric power to the conductor arrangement, wherein the support element, the electrically conductive shield and the housing or cavity form a pre-fabricated track module. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method of building a track for track bound vehicles, the method comprising the steps:
-
providing a support element for supporting an electric conductor arrangement, which is adapted to produce an alternating electromagnetic field and—
thereby—
to transfer electromagnetic energy to vehicles on the track, wherein the support element confines spaces for receiving lines or wires of the conductor arrangement,providing an electrically conductive shield for shielding the alternating electromagnetic field, wherein the shield extends along a plane below the spaces, providing a housing or cavity for receiving a power supply device for supplying electric power to the conductor arrangement, forming a pre-fabricated track module from the support element, the electrically conductive shield and the housing or cavity, arranging the lines or wires of the conductor arrangement in the spaces, and placing the power supply device in the housing or cavity. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
