Abstract:
An electric power transmission and distribution system comprising:a plurality of transmission components (10) of length (LT), each having parallel, insulated transmission conductors (11) laid against each other therein, each end of these transmission components (10) having an opening out (12) of the transmission conductors (11) to connect two adjacent transmission components (10) by means of a terminal block (15), at least one distribution component (20,20â€²) having parallel distribution conductors (21) spaced apart from each other, one at least of the two ends (22) of which is directly connected to a transmission component (10) by a tap-off device (14) at terminal block (15) level, with no additional means of electrical protection against current overloads, the cross-section of the distribution conductors (21) being smaller than the cross-section of the transmission conductors (11), wherein a number of tap-off points (25), spaced out at intervals (LD), are provided along the distribution components (20,20â€²), allowing tap-off junctions to be installed by â€œplug-inâ€  type connections, thereby allowing tap-off junctions (27) to be installed or removed without cutting off the electricity supply in the transmission and distribution system.
