Classification: CPC A  E | IPC A  E

Claim 17:
18. A system comprising:
at least one contact electrode;
at least one collector electrode;
at least one voltage source for applying a voltage between the at least one contact electrode and the at least one collector electrode;
one or more sensors for determining a length and/or a degree of wear of the at least one contact electrode and/or of the at least one collector electrode; and
means for moving the system in a direction of movement;
wherein the at least one contact electrode is fitted in a suspended fashion; and
wherein a bending stiffness of the at least one contact electrode with respect to an external force that acts on the at least one contact electrode counter to the direction of movement is lower than a bending stiffness of the at least one contact electrode with respect to an external force that acts on the at least one contact electrode transversely relative to the direction of movement.
