Abstract (en)
This protection device, which is adapted to be placed in front of the anodes, comprises a frame (1) and a plurality of panels (3,6) which are mounted on the frame and are adapted to be displaced with respect to this frame, so as to allow access to said anodes for an operator.According to the invention panels (3,6) comprise a first set of inner panels (3a-3d), as well as a second set of so-called outer panels (6a-6d), said panels being adapted to slide with respect to said frame (1) along a longitudinal direction (XX) of anodes line(s) so that:- in a so-called closing configuration, panels (3,6) form a substantially continuous shield (S) in front of the line of anodes; and- in a so-called access configuration, at least one panel of inner set is at least partially retracted behind at least one panel of outer set, so as to define one passage (P5) for access to at least one of the anodes which are part of said line.
