Abstract:
A mobile device comprising:(a) an energy generating system; (b) an electrical load; and (c) an energy distribution network comprising a branch coupling the energy generating system and the electrical load, wherein, the energy distribution network further comprises: (i) a switching means; (ii) a switching plug-in connector element coupled to the switching means; (iii) a load plug-in connector element coupled to the electrical load; and (iv) a flexible line comprising a first plug-in connector element, adapted to engage the switching plug-in connector element, and a second plug-in connector element, adapted to engage the load plug-in connector element, wherein, each of the plug-in connector elements have a branch contact for forming an electrical connection between the energy generating system and the electrical load, and each of the first and second plug-in connector elements have a device with a contact means for opening and closing a line section of a control circuit of the energy distribution network, and wherein, when the first and second plug-in connector elements are joined to, or separated from, the switching plug-in connector element and the load plug-in connector element, respectively, the contact means close later, or open earlier, than the branch contacts, and wherein, when the contact means are closed, the switching means is closed, and when the contact means are open, the switching means is open.
