Abstract (en)

The device has an electronic current limiter (2) in series with current switches (10, 10a-10e). An electronic current limiter control unit (20) controls the activation or deactivation of the limiter. The control unit is coupled to the switches such that the control unit activates the limiter in order to obtain a current having a value lower than or equal to a determined threshold value, during the switching of the switches.
