Systems and methods are provided to improve the reliability of energy networks during an activation and deactivation under load and the measurement of energy consumption. An example method for operating an energy network which has multiple junction boxes includes: opening an electronic switch of a junction box using an analysis unit of the junction box; waiting for a defined period of time; measuring the potential at an output of the electronic switch using the analysis program and a corresponding voltage measuring device; comparing the measured potential U with a specified value; setting a release parameter dependent on the measured potential falling below the specified value; and opening a mechanical isolator dependent on the release parameter. The method may include: generating a priority level for the provided deactivation process; carrying out the deactivation process dependent on the priority level; and increasing a content of a counter if the deactivation process is successful and the release parameter has not been set.

Junction box and network for distributing energy

The disclosure relates to a modular plug connector which has a plug comprising a plurality of plug modules and has a mating plug comprising a plurality of mating plug modules, in which each plug module forms a plug module pair with a mating plug module, wherein the plug and the mating plug can assume an interconnected state and wherein at least one of the plug module pairs has at least one locking device, which can assume a locking state in the interconnected state of the plug and the mating plug, in which locking state the locking device prevents the plug module and the mating plug module of said plug module pair from separating from each other.

A power network having special junction boxes and an associated method for operation and evaluation which makes it possible, after construction and wiring, to recognise and to simulate the topology of the power distribution automatically is provided. On this basis the current consumption can then be determined in certain branches, for example also in a tree or ring network structure. In particular, deviations from the desired value, for example a disproportionately high current consumption, can be recognised and localised, so that as a consequence certain load and/or entire power network segments can be switched on and off. For analysis, the corresponding values of relevant electrical variables can be continuously observed, stored in a database, held for any period of time and displayed graphically. Connection errors, wire breakage and overload and undervoltage can be recognised and eliminated by analysing the values of the respective electrical variables.

Administrable power network having a data transmission function

A connector with insulation displacement contacts for connecting electric conductors, in which the insulation displacement contacts are held in a carrier body and the electric conductors are guided in conductor guide channels of a conductor guide component. When the carrier body and conductor guide component are joined together the electric conductors are contacted by the insulation displacement contacts. The carrier body and conductor guide component are joined by means of an assembly tool constructed as a half-shell housing, in which bevels are provided which cooperate with bevels on the conductor guide component, so when the carrier body and the conductor guide component are pressed together in the half-shell housing, the carrier body and conductor guide component are pressed together by mutual displacement on the bevels.
