Abstract
An electrical connection member capable of detecting discontinuities in an electrical network is provided. The connection member includes a casing having at least three branches, each of the branches including, at the end of same, at least one terminal for electrical connection to a respective piece of equipment, and least one main conductor linking two terminals at the ends of two branches in the casing, at least one secondary conductor linking at least one terminal of the end of the third branch in the casing, and including an electrical coupler designed to inject an electrical test signal from the secondary conductor into the main conductor, and to transmit, to the secondary conductor, an electrical response signal generated by the reflection of the electrical test signal against a discontinuity encountered in the electrical network.
