FIELD: metallurgy.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to electrolyser for production of aluminium. Proposed electrolyser comprises, at least, one current conducting rod made from first metal and, at least, one additional rod made from second metal with higher specific conductance compared with first metal and arranged nearby one of side surfaces of current conducting rod so that outer end of additional rod is located at preset distance from preset face surface of the unit. Second end terminates, preferably, to limit heat losses from said electrolyser.
EFFECT: reduced voltage drops and heat losses.
