A power conduction chain (1) comprising a plurality of articulated interconnected links (2) respectively comprising opposite-lying side parts (3) and at least one cross-connector (4a) connecting them, wherein the links (2) are at least partially made of an electrically conductive material enabling electric charges to be diverted via at least one part of the length of said chain. In order to improve diversion of electric charges via the power conduction chain, the links (2) are embodied in such a way that the mobile bearing areas thereof remain constantly adjacent to each other over the entire range of the pivoting angle and/or that at least one contacting element (8) is provided in order to respectively connect two or more links to each other, resulting in immobile contact areas in relation to the links and in that a continuous low electrical resistance conduction path is formed, extending through at least several links, bearing areas and/or contact areas and areas formed by the connecting area or links connecting them to each other, enabling the chain to be used in ESD protection areas.
