Abstract
A contact arrangement includes a first electrical contact, a second electrical contact and a measuring device for determining a contacting state between the first and second contacts. In a first contacting state the first and second contacts are electrically isolated from one another, and in a second contacting state the first and second contacts are electrically connected to one another. The measuring device includes an acoustic signal transmitter for transmitting an acoustic signal into the first contact, and a signal receiver connected to the second contact in a sound-conducting manner.
