- the device according to the invention is a contact device 40 consisting of a metal foam plate 11 of rectangular shape.
- the metal foam plate 11 has three circular openings 12 and at least one first pre-cut 28 and a second pre-cut 29 per opening 12.
- the two pre-cuts 28 and 29 are straight segments, a first end of which is located on the edge of the opening 12 and the second end of which is located on the lower edge of the foam plate 11.
- the precuts 28 and 29 are parallel and spaced apart by a width preferably equal to the diameter of the opening 12.
- the contact device 40 also includes a gripping element 21.
- FIG. 7 represents the installation of the device according to the invention in a three-bolt electrical connection according to the embodiment shown on the Figure 5 .
- the contact device 30 is inserted between the two conductors 32 and 34.
- the bolts 37, 38 and 39 have been loosened in order to separate the conductors by a distance at least equal to the thickness of the foam and the foam plate has been cut over its entire thickness along each pre-cut 18.
- the operator spreads and slightly bends the two parts of foam on either side of each old pre-cut 18 so as to separate their edges so that a bolt can pass between them.
- the operator holds the contact device 30 by its gripping device 21 and inserts it between the two conductive elements 32 and 34, each opening 12 straddling the bolts 37, 38 and 39.
- the contact device is placed in place when each bolt is placed in an opening 12.
- the operator then serves the bolts and when the two contact surfaces of the conductors 32 and 34 are brought together, the foam plate 11 is flattened and the edges slightly bent of the part parts and other of each old pre-cut 18 also flatten and cover the entire contact surface of the connection.
