Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0944295A2] A lighting system formed by a plurality of lamps (3) connected in series according to a load mesh (3a) includes a safety device in which a first control switch (11) is connected in series with the load mesh (3a) and can take one of two characteristic positions, namely non-operative position (I) and operative position (O). A detection mesh (3b) is derived from the terminals of the control switch (11) upon connection therewith, that is established in phase relation with a corresponding operative configuration of position (O) of the control switch (11). A measuring device (90) detects the current in the circuit resulting from the series connection of the load mesh (3a) and detection mesh (3b). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
