Abstract
Connector, in particular a plug-in connector for TT and TN networks, in which an electronic monitoring and control unit supplied with a voltage switches through conductors or releases the connection, by means of a switching device, from the supply side to the load side of the connector as a function of information or measured data. Potential-measuring devices measure conductor potentials continuously or at regular intervals on the supply side and/or on the load side, and the switch is activated if the result falls short of or exceeds specific limits. Also, PA0 the electronic monitoring and control unit is designed to generate a signal if the connection is briefly released or established a certain number of times within a predetermined period; PA0 the conductors to be switched through are monitored by a fault current detecting device which acts upon the switching device; and PA0 information and/or command data are present at a bus interface.
