Abstract:
A connection arrangement for connecting a load at a load side to a distribution system at a supply side, comprising:a current sensor;a voltage sensor;an interrupter assembly effecting a connection between the load and the distribution system in a state free of short-circuits at the load side;a connection branch coupled in parallel to the load, the connection branch including an actuating element, the actuating element being operatively connected to interrupter assembly,a processing module coupled to the current sensor and the voltage sensor, the processing module bringing the connection branch into circuit with the load side and disconnecting the connection branch from the circuit; anda bridge branch including a resistor and an ON switch, the bridge branch connected in parallel to the interrupter assembly, the bridge branch and the connection branch together forming a voltage divider.
