Abstract
An electrical installation includes: a switch cabinet; a protective switch arranged in the switch cabinet; and a cladding having electrical conductors and a voltage-measuring device/current-measuring device for measuring a current flowing through the electrical conductors, the voltage-measuring device/current-measuring device being operatively connected to the protective switch and being capable of triggering or switching off the protective switch when a measured value exceeding a threshold value is detected.
Claims26
An electrical installation, comprising:
- a switch cabinet;
- a protective switch arranged in the switch cabinet;
- and
- a cladding having electrical conductors and a voltage-measuring device/current-measuring device configured to measure a current flowing through the electrical conductors,
- the voltage-measuring device/current-measuring device being operatively connected to the protective switch and
- configured to trigger or switch off the protective switch when a measured value exceeding a threshold value is detected.
A method for securing an electrical installation comprising a switch cabinet and a protective switch arranged in the switch cabinet, the method comprising:
- determining, using
- a current-measuring device of the electrical installation, which is operatively connected to the protective switch, a current flowing through electrical conductors of a cladding, and
- triggering or switching off, using a voltage-measuring device/current-measuring device, the protective switch when a measured value exceeding a threshold value is detected.
