Abstract:
1. An electrode arrangement for a fuel cell having two end sides and comprising a plurality of electrode bundles connected in series, each of said plural electrode bundles including a plurality of electrodes connected in parallel, each of said plural electrodes having first and second ends, wherein said first ends of said plurality of electrodes in each respective one of said plural electrode bundles are gathered together on one of the end sides and connected electrically and said second ends of said plurality of electrodes in each respective one of said plural electrode bundles are gathered together on the other one of the end sides and connected electrically; a first head plate on said one of said end sides having a plurality of electrically conductive sectors which are insulated from one another, wherein each of said electrode bundles are held on said one of said end sides by said electrically conductive sectors, wherein opposing poles of two of said plural electrode bundles are connected in an electrically conductive manner by one sector of said plural electrically conductive sectors, thereby creating a senes connection of said two of said plural electrode bundles; and a second head plate on the other of said side ends, wherein said first head plate has n sectors and said second head plate has n+1 sectors, where n represents a whole number.
