(54)	Unit for shunting current from bus bars

(57) The invention concerns a unit for shunting current from bus bars which is made up of a body divided internally into sections housing the blade shaped flexible electric contacts (21) which can be flexed between an open and closed position of the conductor elements of a bus bar. The electric contacts can be moved from one position to the other by means of insulated wedges (23) associated with them and which can all be moved axially simultaneously from the outside between a retracted open position and a forward closed position by means of a thrust lever and interposed springs.
