Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus (10) for making an electrical distribution conductor (12) is performed by heating an electrically conductive uninsulated wire (14) to a predetermined temperature that is at least approximately as hot as the melting temperature of a thermoplastic member (15) and by then forcing the heated wire into the thermoplastic member to provide insulated mounting of the wire for providing an electrical conductor between spaced locations. The wire (14) is engaged with a pair of spaced rotary electrodes (20, 22) to pass an electric current through the wire to provide its heating. The wire (14) can be either fully or partially embedded within the thermoplastic member (15) and can have either electrically connected or insulated junctions with another crossing wire.
