Abstract
A bipolar plate for a fuel cell having two profiled separator plates with channels for reaction gases and coolant, wherein the channels for a reaction gas or both reaction gases have a smaller width in an inlet region of the active region than in the remaining sub-region of the active region, wherein the width thereof continuously increases from the beginning to the end of the inlet region. Supports between the channels have a greater width than in the remaining sub-region of the active region, wherein the sum of the width of the channels and the width of the supports is constant, and the width of the channels and the supports is constant in the entire remaining sub-region.
