Patent ID: 8319587

Claim:
A system for supplying electrical power to at least one electrically conductive rail capable of supplying an electrical current to a rail vehicle comprising: a supply circuit of the conductive rail; at least one device sectioning the supply circuit, including a housing having two main sectioning terminals, in the housing the device further including: a first sectioning member movable between a position for opening and a position for closing a first electrical connection between the two main sectioning terminals; an actuator automatically controlling, under an action of an electrical signal, the first sectioning member from the closed position to the open position; a manual control member resetting the first sectioning member from the open position to the closed position; two secondary sectioning terminals; and a second sectioning member movable between a position for opening and a position for closing a second electrical connection between the two secondary sectioning terminals, the second sectioning member being coupled to the first sectioning member, commutation of the first sectioning member bringing about commutation of the second sectioning member; and the system for supplying electrical power further including: a grounding circuit connecting the conductive rail to electrical ground when the supply circuit is isolated.
