An electricity distribution system for a domestic installation including multiple electrical sources. The system includes a connecting device arranged for distributing an electric current in the installation, from sources including an electricity distribution network and at least one auxiliary electrical supply source, to at least one electricity consuming load, the connecting device including at least one linear segment, each linear segment including a plurality of electrical conductors adapted to route the electric current along an electrical conduction path. The system further includes a switching device principal configured for switching between two states which, respectively, allow or prevent the flow of electric current from the electricity distribution network to the connecting device, an auxiliary switching device for each auxiliary electrical supply source being configured for switching between two states which, respectively, allow or prevent the flow of electric current from the associated auxiliary electrical supply source to the connecting device. The system further includes at least one load switching device configured for switching between two states which, respectively, allow or prevent the flow of electric current from the connecting device to at least one electricity consuming load, the or each load switching device being electrically connected to the connecting device at an intermediate connection point between said first connection point and the or each second connection point.

Electricity distribution system for a domestic installation comprising multiple electrical sources

An electrical distribution system, for distributing electrical currents between an electrical distribution network and a domestic distribution installation, includes: a multi-source electrical switching unit allowing or preventing the circulation of electrical currents in two electrical conduction paths each including a plurality of electrical conductors, and an electrical connection device connected at the output of the electrical switching unit, the connection device being configured to prolong the two electrical conduction paths at the output of the switching unit. The electrical switching unit is configured to connect, on a first input, a first of the two electrical conduction paths to an electrical distribution network, the electrical switching unit being configured to connect, on its second input, the second of the two electrical conduction paths to an auxiliary electrical source. The connection device is configured to connect each electrical conduction path to one or more electrical loads at the output of the electrical switching unit. The electrical connection device includes an interconnection point in which the corresponding electrical conductors of each electrical conduction path are connected to one another, the multi-source electrical switching unit forming a single disconnection point capable of simultaneously disconnecting the electrical sources connected to the first input and to the second input from the rest of the electrical distribution network.
