Claim Text:
1. An electronic bridge system, comprising: a first interface to couple to an electrical or electro-mechanical installation to receive system information from the installation; a second interface to couple to a second component of the installation, wherein the second component is to be bypassed or interrupted by the bridge system; a bridge circuit coupled to the second interface and having a control port, the bridge circuit configured to cause bypassing or interrupting the second component upon activation; a safety circuit coupled to the first interface and having an output coupled to the control port, the safety circuit configured to output one of an enable signal and a disable signal as a function of the system information, wherein the enable signal activates the bridge circuit; and wherein the bridge circuit includes a selector switch and a relay having a coil part, a first switch and a second switch, wherein the second switch is connected in series to terminals of the second interface when the selector switch is in a position “on,” and configured to close a path between the terminals, wherein the first switch is connected to the control port to close a path to the coil part of the relay, and wherein the selector switch is arranged to be parallel to the first switch when the selector switch is in a position “activate”.
