Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for converting mains voltage (usually 230 V) into low voltage (usually "safety extra-low voltage"), consisting of a first plug which can be plugged into a mains socket, a second plug which can be plugged into a consumer and a circuit, largely between the two plugs, for voltage conversion.
- mains voltage usually 230 V
- low voltage usually "safety extra-low voltage”
- the invention has for its object to design the aforementioned device such that losses and possible line overloads are avoided as far as possible.
- circuit with the second connector forms an inherently rigid unit with the shortest possible electrical connection between the circuit and the second switch with the smallest possible electrical resistance.
- Another advantage is that additional signals (via additional electrical connections) can be transmitted better than in the known case mentioned above, because the device according to the invention lacks the long line that is present in the known device.
- a further development of the invention is that an on / off switch for the mains voltage is attached to the device.
- the advantage of this solution compared to the solution mentioned above with an on / off switch for the mains voltage is that the on / off switch is practically always used when the consumer is to be switched off.
- the on / off switch is often not used because the voltage conversion device is located in a place that is difficult to access or not easily visible, namely away from the consumer. So you often leave the consumer switched on and use useless energy, or the power plug is pulled out in a primitive manner. Not least for this reason, the known devices often have no on / off switch.
- the second connector has at least three poles. This solution is useful for the transmission of additional signals.
- the second connector be easily removable from the rest of the assembly and, if necessary, be exchangeable for another. In this way it is possible to conveniently adapt the device according to the invention to different consumers. Further details of the invention emerge from the drawing. In it show the
- Figures 1 and 2 each a known device for voltage conversion.
- FIG 3 shows an embodiment of the device for voltage conversion according to the invention.
- 1 is a mains plug ("first plug")
- 2 is a second plug that can be plugged into a consumer
- 3 is a housing in which a circuit for converting the voltage is located
- 4 is a device to indicate the operating state and 5 denotes an on / off switch.
