Claim Text:
1. Device for continuously monitoring current distribution in cathodes and anodes of an electrolyser consisting of at least two adjacent electrolysis cells, each containing a multiplicity of said cathodes and anodes, said device comprising at least one inter-cell current collecting bus-bar and at least one base element, said inter-cell current collecting bus-bar consisting of an elongated main body of homogeneous electrical conductivity, said body comprising housings for supporting said cathodes and/or anodes and establishing an electrical contact therewith, said housings being evenly spaced apart, said inter-cell current collecting bus-bar abutting on said at least one base element made of insulating material equipped with integrated probes for detecting an electrical voltage and for establishing electrical contacts in correspondence of said housings of said inter-cell current collecting bus-bar, wherein said probes for detecting an electrical voltage and establishing electrical contacts are equipped with a retractable tip in correspondence of said electrical contacts.
