Abstract
An electrical equipment (1) for an electrical installation suitable is provided, connected to an electrical grid having at least: —a primary functional module (2) suitable and intended for carrying out a current interruption function, and an additional functional module (5) for carrying out at least one function requiring a power supply The function of the additional functional module (5) is selected, alone or in combination, from a function of measuring at least one physical parameter and/or a function of emitting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation, and/or a display function, and/or an actuation function, and/or a data processing function, and/or a function of converting a physical signal into an electrical signal or vice versa.
Claims33
An electrical apparatus for an electrical installation, able to be connected to an electrical grid, comprising at least:
- a primary functional module 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 and, where applicable, a third connection pole able to be connected to a third neutral line of the electrical grid,
- the primary functional module being able to perform a function of interrupting the current between the first connection pole and the second connection pole and comprises a control member such that, in an open position, an electrical circuit between the first connection pole and the second connection pole is open and that, in a closed position, the electrical circuit is closed,
- an additional functional module comprising means for performing at least one function requiring an electric power supply, comprising at least a fourth connection pole and a fifth connection pole that are electrically connected respectively to the first connection pole and to the second connection pole or, where applicable, to the third connection pole of the primary functional module in order to supply power to the additional functional module,
- a reception module comprising at least a first reception area for receiving the primary functional module, wherein said reception module comprises a second reception area for receiving the additional functional module,
- and in that said at least one function of the additional functional module is chosen, alone or in combination, from among a function of measuring at least one physical parameter and/or an electromagnetic radiation transmission and/or reception function and/or a display function and/or an actuation function and/or a data processing function and/or a function of transforming a physical signal into an electrical signal or vice versa.
