Abstract

In a building element of the special type which in addition to being provided with coupling means for mechanical intercoupling of the building blocks-contains current-carrying components placed in the electrically insulated building block (2). There are provided at least two current-carrying components (3, 4) with respective contact areas which are mutually co-axially positioned. Hereby building blocks (2) of this type can be intercoupled mechanically while establishing electrical connection between the respective current rails (3, 4) in the cooperating building elements, without any risk of short circuiting between the two current-carrying components, no matter how the building blocks are intercoupled mechanically.
