Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0504461A1] It is constructed from three-terminal modules (13) which form highly varied devices which electrically have one or more terminals, if required with the addition of a neutral conductor path. A three-terminal module (13) has a main current path (1) having at least one contact point (2). Said contact point can be switched by means of a tripping device (3) or a remote-control device, if required also by means of a manual operating device and, if required, also via a latching mechanism (6). A branch (7) having a current-limiting device (8) is passed out of the module to an external connection, which may be internally connected in a switching device (10). <IMAGE>
