Abstract
An embodiment of the invention relates to an electrical installation unit for making contact with electrical loads, wherein the installation unit has at least two contact elements. In at least one embodiment, an installation unit is disclosed in which an electrical connection provided between the two contact elements is necessarily interrupted when the installation unit is dismantled. In at least one embodiment, the installation unit includes at least one device for interrupting the conductive connection leading to the contact elements when the installation unit is dismantled. This at least one device, in at least one embodiment, includes two connecting elements in a switching element of the installation unit and, for example, a contact pin consisting of a conductive material, which produces a conductive connection between the connecting elements in a properly installed state of the installation unit. Alternatively, for example, the electrical connection between the connecting elements can be produced by a wire or a braided wire, by which the electrical connection is interrupted, for example by the wire or braided wire being ripped, when the installation unit is dismantled. A particularly advantageous application for the installation unit according to at least one embodiment is, for example, the use as an EMERGENCY STOP command device.
