Electrical equipment and additional functional module associated therewith

An electrical apparatus for an electrical installation, able to be connected to an electrical grid, comprising at least:

• a reception module comprising at least a first reception area;
• a primary functional module received in the first reception area and comprising a first connection pole able to be connected to a first line of the electrical grid and a second connection pole able to be connected to a second line of an electrical circuit of the electrical installation,
• the primary functional module comprising a device for interrupting the current, which device is arranged between the first connection pole and the second connection pole and is able, in an open position, to interrupt the current between the first connection pole and the second connection pole and, in a closed position, to allow the passage of the current between the first connection pole and the second connection pole,
• wherein the reception module comprises a second reception area for receiving an additional functional module, said additional functional module having means for performing at least one function requiring an electric power supply, at least a fourth connection pole and a fifth connection pole that are able to be electrically connected respectively to the first connection pole and to the second connection pole of the primary functional module in order to supply power to the additional functional module, and in that either the electrical apparatus comprises an interruption element able to act on the interruption device so as to interrupt the flow of the current between the first connection pole and the second connection pole when the additional functional module is received in the second reception area, or an interruption element of the additional functional module is able to act on the interruption device so as to interrupt the flow of the current between the first connection pole and the second connection pole when the additional functional module is received in the second reception area.
