Device for Managing Electrical Consumption

Abstract

Device for managing electrical consumption. The device for managing electrical consumption comprises:—a plurality of connectors (28) capable of each receiving a link to an electrical current line, and able to form input connectors and output connectors,—a processing circuit (6, 8) for managing the electrical consumption on the electrical current lines to which it is connected, linked to at least one of the input connectors (28) and to at least one of the output connectors (28), and comprising a printed circuit which receives electronic components (38),—a housing (4) able to be installed in a low-voltage electrical installation board, exhibiting two opposite ends (15, 17) and at least one opening (14, 16) along each end (15, 17), and accommodating on the one hand the plurality of connectors (28) along said opposite ends (15, 17) of the housing (4), and on the other hand the processing circuit (6, 8) between said opposite ends (15, 17), at least some of said openings (14, 16) remaining partially free when the connectors (28) receive an electrical line. The printed circuit of the processing circuit (6, 8) is disposed in the housing in such a way as to define a first space and a second space which are separate, the electronic components (38) capable of conducting currents of at least 5A being received on the printed circuit so that they are housed in the first space with the plurality of connectors (28), in proximity to one of said. opposite ends of the housing (4).
