Device for distributing electrical energy and method for monitoring the distribution of energy

A device for generating energy and distributing electrical energy to a plurality of electrical loads, said device comprising:

• a distributor unit containing a first plurality of part halves;
• a plurality of pairs of lines for connecting said plurality of electrical loads to said first plurality of connector part halves wherein said lines have respective second and third part halves arranged at a respective first distributor unit end and load end of said lines, wherein said plurality of connector part halves arranged at the load end of said lines are connected to respective fourth connector part halves of said plurality of loads;
• a diagnostic circuit having a line section wherein said line section is at least one of open and closed by line bridges of said second and third respective connector part halves arranged on said respective pairs of plurality of lines;
• a switching device actuated by a control unit wherein said switching device is arranged between an energy-generating unit and said distributor unit;
• and
• a signal generator and an evaluation unit functioning in association with said diagnostic circuit.
