- Measuring device and the connecting cable is either inseparably connected to the device or connected via a separable connection to the device. If the device already has electrical / electronic circuits, these can be extended cost-effectively by the described measuring functions. In the case of a separable connection cable can be easily and inexpensively replaced if damaged.
- connection line can be used in a building installation, wherein the measuring device is provided at the building end of the connection cable and is adapted to measure the protective conductor current and protective conductor resistance.
- a functional test / a Kalibierfunkion is performed after plugging the power plug into a socket and briefly displayed by a function message, especially in shape a flashing or short acoustic signal.
- the measuring device measures preferably continuously the resistance of the measuring circuit and / or the protective conductor current and outputs a warning signal when an unacceptable resistance value is exceeded.
- the measuring device continuously measures the resistance and / or protective conductor current, damage to the connecting line can be detected with little technical effort. Furthermore, a fault or damage to the connection cable
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the connecting cable with a clutch integrated
- Measuring device such as a cold-device connection line
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of the connecting cable with a connected
- Fig. 4 is a building installation.
- the connecting line 10 of FIG. 1 comprises four conductors, namely L as the phase and N as the neutral conductor, PE as the protective conductor and P as the measuring conductor.
- a first power plug 12 is provided, in which the conductors N and L are connected to the terminal contacts 13 and the protective conductor PE and the measuring conductor P are connected to the protective conductor contact 14 of the power plug 12.
- a second plug or a coupling 40 is arranged.
- a measuring device 30 may be integrated, which has a power supply 38, an ohmmeter 32, an acoustic warning transmitter 34, a control lamp 36 and an ammeter 32.
- the resistance meter 32 is within the second plug 40 with its one measuring potential with the protective conductor PE and its second end on the intermediate power supply 38 connected to the measuring conductor P, so that a Kontroll standing. Measuring circuit is formed, which includes the conductors PE and P over the length of the connecting cable.
- Warning transmitter 34 may be issued a corresponding warning.
- the user recognizes the damage of the connecting line 10 due to these warning signals and can replace it accordingly or the technical service expert.
- an ammeter 33 for measuring the protective conductor current in the protective conductor P is provided in the measuring device 30.
- an electrical appliance load (not shown) is connected to the second plug 40 with the three contacts N, L and PE. If there is a fault in this device, so there is a protective conductor current, which transmit to the potential PE of the plug 40 and so on the one hand over the protective conductor PE on the
- Connecting line 10 is forwarded to the first power plug 12 and discharged accordingly.
- PE of the plug of the measuring conductor P is connected, which is also, as already described via the measuring device 30 to the protective conductor contact 14 of the first power plug 12 is connected.
- PE and P are thus connected in parallel. This will divide the fault current of the connected device between both P and PE conductors. If the resistance of the measuring conductor P corresponds to that of the protective conductor PE, then the division in the sense of
- the current meter 33 measures the current flowing through the measuring conductor P and, with corresponding measurement results (as will be explained later), can recognize that a protective conductor current has been introduced into the measuring circuit via the PE contact of the second plug 40. Accordingly, the ammeter on the indicator light 36 and / or the acoustic warning device 34 issue a warning. Alternatively and / or additionally, the transmission of the signal via a transponder is possible.
- the connection of the protective conductor PE must not be interrupted and so a measurement during operation of the device, ie in particular continuously possible.
- the measuring device 30 is set up so that it reacts when inserting the power plug 12 into a corresponding socket with a brief illumination of the warning light 36 of about 1 to 2 seconds and / or with a sound the acoustic warning transmitter 34 as a signal to the user that the measuring device 30 is working properly.
- the power supply 38 disconnects from the mains voltage, ie via the potentials N and L, a low voltage. This is done via a galvanic isolation in order to keep the mains voltage separate from the protective conductors P and PE.
- the resistance meter 30 has a threshold value of approximately 150 ⁇ , which is thus smaller than the threshold value of max conventionally used. 300 ⁇ , since the contact resistance is lower.
- the ohmmeter outputs the warning when the measured resistance exceeds the threshold.
- the test current is 200 mA, but can be adjusted.
- the protective conductor PE is used for earthing and is defined by corresponding standards in the cross section and nature. This does not apply to the measuring conductor P, which is used for the testing task. For this reason, it can have a different, in particular smaller cross-section, so as to save material and costs. As a result, the described division of the protective conductor current of a connected device is changed accordingly.

- Connecting line 10 is provided with a plug or coupling 50.
- the coupling 50 may be connected to a coupling counterpart 52 of an electrical appliance / operating means 60 having a measuring device 62 which is comparable to that already described
- Measuring device 30 operates.
- the potential of the protective conductor PE is used for grounding, by being connected to the parts to be grounded, in particular the housing.
- the measuring device 62 measures the resistance between the housing of the device 60 and the potential P, including the contact resistances of the plug contacts, that is, in particular the cold device connection line to the connection socket of the equipment.
- the connected device 30 may be any consumer, such as a home appliance, workshop device, computer or also, for example, be a passive device such as a cable drum.
- the measuring device 62 can therefore according to the first embodiment detect both damage to the connecting line 10, the plug contacts, as well as a protective conductor current in the device during operation itself.
- connection line 10 may be connected to a junction box 20.
- the junction box 20 includes three slots / sockets 22 for plug-in connectors and each of the sockets has two protective conductor contacts 24 which are interconnected within each socket.

From the controller go from two connecting cables 10, which as already described in addition to the protective conductor PE and the measuring conductor P have. These connecting leads lead to, for example, a junction box or (in particular fixedly installed) socket (s) 22, which are integrated, for example, in a floor tank (or floor outlet). There, the connecting line 10 is connected with two potentials for conductors N and L, the protective conductor PE. At a socket 22, which is removed from the socket to which PE is connected, the measuring conductor P

- the controller 80 may include an isolation measurement device (not shown).
- an isolation measurement device (not shown). In order to carry out an appropriate insulation measurement, all consumers must be removed from the sockets 22, and then the test can be started manually and an insulation measurement can be carried out with a high voltage according to DIN VDE 0105-100 in order to reduce the insulation resistance of the connecting line 10 and the sockets 22 to eat. Since all connected devices must be removed prior to the measurement, this measurement may only be performed by a qualified electrician.
