Abstract
An arrangement having a multifunctional connection for energy storage cells or energy consumers provides at least one device for charge equalization and/or a measuring device for measuring an electrical voltage of energy storage cells or energy consumers; an electrical bridging element between two electrically insulated conductors; and a trigger circuit for activating the bridging element. One of the two electrical conductors is connected or is connectable to a first pole in an electrically conductive manner, and the other electrical conductor is connected or connectable in an electrically conductive manner to a second pole of the energy storage cell or of the energy consumer. The device for charge equalization and/or the measuring device is connected to the electrical connection of the bridging element. The electrical connection can thus be used simultaneously for triggering the bridging element and for the charge measurement and/or the charge equalization.
