- the system according to the invention includes at least one switch device 17.
- the switch device 17 has a similar arrangement to that of the source device 3 and that of the connection device 8.
- the elements described above for the source device 3 have corresponding elements for the switch device 17.
- the switch device 17 has a female switch connector 18 and female switch contacts 19.
- the switch device 17 can be connected to a connection device 7b "T" through another chute 6 to provide a switch height.
- a height of 0.90 to 1.30 m can be provided.
- a connection device 7b M / M / M m / m / m may be provided between the second channel F / F f / f and the switch device 17 F, f.
- a circuit breaker, for example 16A, or a fuse, for example 10A, may be provided to protect the circuit.
- a first variant may be a "simple" switch 17 associated with two contacts of the connection device 7 or the chute 6, one being connected for example to the phase, the other being an unused return. This variant can be illustrated by FIGS. 13A and 13B.
- a second variant may be a switch 17 called “back and forth” associated with three contacts of the connection device 7 or chute 6, one being connected for example to the phase, the others being so-called “shuttle” contacts .
- This variant can be illustrated by FIGS. 14A and 14B.
- An alternative of the second variant may be a switch called “back and forth” associated with three contacts of the connection device 7 or the chute 6, one being an unused return, the others being so-called “shuttle” contacts one of which is connected for example to the phase.
