The invention relates to a connection device for connecting at least one electrical infrastructure device to an electrical distribution network. This connection device comprises an individual circuit breaker, intended to be connected upstream to said electrical distribution network, and to supply downstream said electrical device by means of at least one private protection device, called a circuit breaker.

The apparatus comprises at least one envelope enclosing in a protected manner said individual circuit breaker and circuit breaker, separately or separable from said electrical apparatus, providing a modular connection apparatus which can be installed and connected to the distribution network in the absence of said apparatus. electric, or additional module. The envelope delimits at least a first and a second compartments, integral with each other, closed by a first and respectively a second locking, and which contain the individual circuit breaker and the circuit breaker respectively.

According to the invention, the apparatus is further arranged so that said second lock can be opened at least by opening means forming a so-called private key, whether it is hardware and / or electronic and / or logic, which does not not allow access to the interior of the first compartment.

It thus forms a mini technical room with modularity characteristics which allow it to be used more universally. These modular characteristics are present in its use and in its implementation, for the connection device itself and / or for the functional device or devices that it supplies.

Optionally, the device has a reception surface that can receive either a masking roof or an additional module, or even several mounted in series.

The invention also relates to a complete infrastructure cabinet comprising a connection device and at least one additional module connected to the downstream terminals of the circuit breaker, as well as a method

- 2 for installing this cabinet and a process for uninstalling its additional module.

State of the art

In the field of connection to a public electrical distribution network, the connections intended to supply different electrical devices are made by the distribution network operator or by subcontractors approved by him.

On public roads or places accessible to the public are installed different types of electrical devices, which are connected directly to the distribution network, most often installed directly and without going through an electrical outlet circuit. Such devices are for example public lighting cabinets, charging stations intended for electric vehicles, different types of ATMs, many types of public or accessible public buildings, or any other equipment installed in places accessible to a public not authorized to intervene on such an electrical appliance.

In the case of a limited power connection (36kVA maximum) supplied with low voltage 230V single-phase or 380V three-phase, the actual functional part of the electrical appliance is connected to the distribution network by a certain number of switching devices and / or protection, or even counting, which constitute the small equivalent of the technical room of a large installation.

For example, for France and here an Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure (IRVE), this connection is illustrated in FIGURE 1, and includes:

- an electrical connection cable 91 connected to the network 9, on an upstream side,

- an individual main circuit breaker (or CCPI), generally formed by a thermal fuse for each phase, which is supplied by the electrical connection cable 91,

an intermediate electrical connection 92 from the individual circuit breaker and forming an individual bypass,

- 3 - most often, a counter (CPT) inserted in the individual derivation, and

- a general cut-off and protection device (AGCP), most often a resettable circuit breaker, which is supplied by the individual bypass and whose downstream connection terminals materialize the delivery point (or PDL);

- this circuit breaker (ACGP) supplies the functional part 81 of the device 8 by an electrical output link 93.

This delivery point in the literal sense corresponds to the limit of responsibility between the area of intervention of the network operator, and the area where the operator of the powered electrical device operates. In France, the part located upstream of this limit is governed by standard NF C 14-100, while the part located downstream is governed by standard NF C 17-200 (for equipment installed on public roads) or the NF C 15-100 standard (for equipment installed on a private domain).

All of these switching and protection devices form a technical unit which is sometimes also called Delivery Point by analogy.

As a general rule, the connection materials constituting the connection are installed by the distribution network operator or by a subcontractor authorized by him.

The commissioning of the connection, which allows in particular the energizing of the downstream terminals of the circuit breaker, or its deactivation, can only be done by the network operator or his authorized agent.

In many cases, as illustrated in FIGURE 1, the electrical apparatus 8 forms a cabinet 80 which includes the functional materials 81 specific to its operation and also integrates the technical room and its connection materials CCPI, CPT, AGCP which supply the materials functional 81.

To install and commission such a device, the private operator begins by installing the cabinet 80, often with connection devices. Then, in the presence of the private operator, the network operator comes to check the installation and put the connection into service by connecting the cable 91 to the network 9 and to the CCPI individual circuit breaker and by

- 4 inserting the fuses. The private operator can then make the tests and configurations necessary to put the device into service 8.

If necessary, to remove or replace the device 8, the network operator first comes to remove the fuses and disconnect the connection cable 91 from the network 9 and the CCPI circuit breaker. The private operator can then remove the cabinet 80, to replace it or simply to free the location.

In other configurations, the technical room contains the CCPI, CPT, AGCP connection materials in a specific envelope 89 independent of the rest of the device 82. Once the technical room 89 is installed by the private operator, the network operator just connect it to network 9 in a similar way. The private operator can then plug in and commission their device 82.

An object of the invention is to overcome all or part of the drawbacks of the prior art, and in particular to facilitate and simplify the installation and / or maintenance of such an electrical device and / or connection materials, and by particular in the management of this connection.

Statement of the invention

The invention provides a connection device for connecting at least one electrical device to an electrical distribution network, typically of public distribution. This connection device comprises or is designed to receive at least:

an individual cut-off device, called an individual circuit breaker (CCPI), designed to be connected upstream to said electrical distribution network, and

- a private protection device, called circuit breaker (AGCP), designed to be connected to said individual circuit breaker (CCPI) and to supply said electrical device (2),

According to the invention, the connection device comprises at least one enclosure enclosing in a protected manner both said individual circuit breaker and said circuit breaker as well as at least one electrical circuit which connects them to each other, separately or separable from said electrical device, thus realizing a so-called modular connection device which can be

- 5 installed and connected to the distribution network in the absence of said electrical device, itself called additional module.

Furthermore, said envelope delimits at least a first compartment and a second compartment which are integral with each other,

said first compartment containing said individual cut-off device or at least its upstream terminals, and being closed by at least one first opening provided with a first locking device and,

- The second compartment containing at least the downstream terminals of said circuit breaker without giving access to said upstream terminals of the CCPI, and being closed by at least a second opening provided with a second locking system.

According to the invention, said second locking device according to the invention is further arranged to be able to be opened at least by opening means forming a so-called private key, whether it is hardware and / or electronic and / or logic, which does not not open the first opening.

Typically, the envelope has characteristics of protection and solidity determined so that it is suitable for implantation on roads and / or on public roads.

In the context of the present invention, the term “individual circuit breaker” is understood to mean more particularly any device for cutting off all the active conductors and breaking under load of all the phase conductors, or one of these two functions, and which is fitted with bars or protective devices, in order to be placed at the origin of the individual bypass. In addition, the terms “individual circuit breaker”, “CCPI” or “individual main circuit breaker” are used interchangeably here.

According to the present invention, the term “envelope containing a protected manner” means any device surrounding the objects concerned so as to provide both protection against the external environment, such as bad weather, and protection of the external environment against electrical contacts which may be compatible with an establishment on the public highway, such as individual or collective protection of people.

- 6 In the context of the present invention, the term "without giving access to said upstream terminals of the CCPI" means preventing physical access to these terminals by a person, except by committing a break-in or dismantling or even destroying all or part of the device.

Preferably, in the various embodiments or particularities of the invention, the second compartment also does not give access to any of the set of components or electrical devices enclosed in the envelope and located upstream from the point concerned, such than conductors, terminals or possibly other electrical devices.

According to an optional feature, the second compartment does not give access to all or part of the components and devices located upstream of the downstream terminals of the AGCP. In particular, it prevents access to the upstream and / or downstream terminals of a counter located between the CCPI and the AGCP, or even to the upstream terminals of the AGCP.

Typically, the at least one casing (10) encloses in a protected manner both said individual circuit breaker (CCPI) and said circuit breaker (AGCP) as well as all the components and electrical conductors connecting said individual circuit breaker (CCPI) and said circuit breaker (AGCP) therebetween.

In the context of the present invention, the term "establishment on the road and / or on the public thoroughfare" means all of the elements of the public domain made up of the entire private and / or public network of land and river traffic lanes , maritime, air, and their dependencies (roads, paths, streets, sidewalks, pavements, etc.), or similar private elements experiencing similar traffic, as well as all types of buildings receiving the public or users not authorized to perform electrical work on this type of device or on this network.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the envelope has protection and solidity characteristics determined so that it is suitable for implantation on roads and / or on public roads.

The invention thus provides a modular connection device thus creating a technical room in the public domain integrating the delivery point with the CCPI function in a compartment directly accessible by the manager of the electrical distribution network, without

- 7 require the presence or assistance of the owner or manager of the installation (i.e. the private operator). The circuit breaker, and possibly the meter, is placed in another compartment accessible by the owner and / or manager of the complete electrical installation, without requiring the presence or assistance of the network manager or an agent authorized by him.

In addition, the connection device according to the invention allows integration of the delivery point specific to each envelope and is a function of its use on the public domain, regardless of the nature of the electrical device that it will supply. This variability makes it possible in particular to limit the impact of the standards in force (for example relating to electrical connection devices on the public domain) on the design of the electrical devices operated, or even to overcome them.

According to certain embodiments, the device comprises a common self-supporting envelope in one piece, for example in one piece or assembled in the factory.

According to other embodiments of the invention, the connection device comprises a first compartment and at least one second compartment enclosed in two separate envelopes, which are assembled together by at least one connection means which can be implemented after initial manufacturing, for example in the field or in a preparation workshop.

This solution makes it possible to effectively limit access to the various devices in each of the compartments, thus guaranteeing security and autonomy in their use both vis-à-vis the network manager and the private operator.

It also allows a more flexible manufacture of the device, by allowing a separate or even modular design of the compartments, that is to say for each of its individual envelope and of the apparatuses and accessories which it contains, as well as a manufacture, a preparation and / or separate delivery (s).

This autonomy also gives the private operator the possibility of fixing and connecting the additional module with the envelope of the second compartment of the connection device according to the invention without having the

- 8 first compartment available, therefore in the absence of the network manager and even before any intervention in the field.

The same goes for the network manager who can prepare and install the first compartment, then intervene on the devices of the compartment to which he has access, without requiring the presence of the private operator and even before any intervention by the latter on the ground.

Each of the opening means mentioned here can be produced in different forms, for example a hardware key, and / or with an electronic part, which can be separated as a smart card or an RFID device, and / or be integrated as a hardware key incorporating an electronic circuit. It can also be simply a code or a specific maneuver that is difficult to guess, for example typing on one or more keyboards, or even an electronic remote control or an application running on a computerized device such as a telephone. .

According to an optional feature of the invention, the first lock is arranged to be able to be opened by at least one opening means forming a global key, arranged to be able to open the first compartment and also the second compartment.

More particularly, the second opening and the second locking can be carried by the first opening thus giving access to the second compartment through an opening formed in said first opening. The network manager's key, by unlocking the first door, gives access to both the first compartment and the second compartment.

Preferably, the connection device according to the invention has an envelope whose external dimensions are less than or equal to 200%, preferably less than or equal to 150%, of the cumulative dimensions of the devices (CCPI, CPT, AGCP) that it contains or is intended to contain. Typically, the internal components and in particular the CCPI and the AGCP are arranged on the same plane, and are fixed on one or more vertical boards carried by the bottom of the envelope. Thus, the width of the envelope is for example less than 200% of the sum of the widths of the CCPI and the AGCP when they are arranged next to each other. The invention thus relates in particular to a type of compact device

- 9 whose implantation and installation are facilitated, for example with respect to a complete cabinet or to a technical room of existing types.

In addition, the connection device according to the invention may comprise at least one fixing means, such as bolts, screws, studs, hooks, latches, metal collar, clamp, or any other form known to those skilled in the art. loom for receiving such a fixing, arranged to receive the at least one additional module integrally with the casing of said connecting device.

According to one feature, to receive the at least one additional module, the envelope has, in particular on its upper face, a receiving surface arranged to receive and support said module, in particular by a form of positioning capable of cooperating with a form of said additional module to ensure it a determined position relative to the casing of the connection device. Typically, this reception surface includes or surrounds one or more outlet holes, drilled or pre-drilled, intended to allow the conductors connecting the connection device with the additional module to pass. Preferably, the outlet orifices are placed in a location in the envelope where they are hidden by the additional module when the latter is installed.

Optionally, the reception surface and / or the outlet orifices are further masked and / or protected by a mobile or removable masking roof, horizontal or not, which is integrally fixed to the envelope by unlockable fixing means or removable, for example only from inside the envelope and in particular from the second compartment. This roof can then be dismantled, or moved, to discover the outlet orifices, and / or the fixing means, and thus allow the installation of the additional module.

Possibly, this masking roof is compatible with said connection module so that, once dismantled from the connection device, it can be mounted and fixed on an additional module, before or after its installation.

According to one feature, the additional module itself has a similar reception surface, arranged to receive another additional module, or several mounted in series on each other. By

- 10 example, the masking roof of the connection device is arranged to be compatible with the reception surface of any of these modules. It is thus possible to add one or more modules in series on the connection device, and to mount its masking roof on the last of said modules.

Preferably, this masking roof is removable from the interior of the connection device, preferably from the interior of the second compartment and possibly only from said second compartment.

According to a feature of the invention, in order to facilitate the connection between the connection device according to the invention and the at least one additional module, the downstream terminals of the circuit breaker are connected to an electrical outlet accessible from outside the envelope. Typically the connection can be a female base which can, for example, be arranged on the receiving surface, which location is hidden by the additional module when it is installed.

According to another aspect, the invention provides such a connection device in which the envelope does not include the CCPI, the circuit breaker and / or any other device that it is intended to contain, but is arranged specifically according to the characteristics set out here. to receive a CCPI and a circuit breaker so as to make a connection device.

According to yet another aspect, the present invention also relates to an electrical infrastructure device comprising a connection device as set out here, and comprising at least one additional module connected to the downstream terminals of the circuit breaker of said connection device.

According to yet another aspect, the invention provides an electrical device comprising a module casing arranged specifically to be fixed by means of fixing a connection device as described here, and / or to be received by the surface of reception or positioning of such a connection device so as to produce the at least one additional module within an electrical infrastructure device according to the present invention.

- According to an optional feature, the casing of such an additional module itself carries a reception surface, for example identical or similar to that of the connection device, and which is arranged specifically to be able to receive in positioning and / or when connecting another additional module, in the same way as if this other additional module was installed on said connection device.

It is thus possible to install several additional modules in series on top of each other, in a pull-out fashion, on the same connection device. These devices can be of one or more types, and provide a modular architecture which allows greater flexibility in the manufacture, storage, and installation of electrical devices to be connected.

Such an infrastructure device or additional module consists of or includes one or more devices chosen from: an electric vehicle charging station or a Recharging Infrastructure for an Electric Vehicle; a kiosk or an automatic information or bank machine for distributing tickets, for self-service vehicle rental, or for obtaining a transport ticket; an automatic setpoint; an apparatus for exterior lighting such as the lighting of public or private roads, parks and gardens, stadiums and sports fields, parking lots; lighting, street furniture, light signage, a public entrance, a video protection or video surveillance device, a light panel, a light sign; a box of sockets for fairground connection; an installation of lighting by garlands and / or light patterns; a device for installing pools and fountains.

According to another aspect, the present invention also relates to an installation method which comprises the following steps:

- installation of a connection device according to the invention;

- connection of the upstream terminals of the individual circuit breaker to the distribution network.

According to the embodiments, the connection device can be supplied in a single piece, or can be assembled prior to its installation. It is also planned to assemble it during

- 12 of the installation, in a single or in several interventions spaced over time and / or carried out by different parties.

According to one feature, the installation method according to the invention further comprises the following steps:

- selection of at least one electrical device, within a plurality of electrical devices compatible with the connection device and of different types, to produce the at least one additional module;

- installation of said additional module, and connection to the downstream terminals of the circuit breaker.

According to another particularity, alternatively or in combination, the step of installing the additional module comprises at least:

- an operation to dismantle a masking roof, which was fixed on the connection device to mask a reception surface and / or at least one conductor outlet orifice;

- an installation and connection operation of one or more additional modules on the connection device; and

- a mounting and fixing operation of said masking roof on the last of said one or more additional modules, for example on a reception surface arranged to be able to receive another additional module, similar or not.

According to one particularity, the connection device is connected and fixed to the electrical device prior to its installation, the installation step thus realizing a positioning of the connection device and of the electrical device in one operation while allowing a subsequent disassembly of the electrical appliance by a private operator without requiring the intervention of a distribution network operator.

It is thus possible for the manufacturer of the electrical appliance to supply it in a pre-assembled and pre-connected form with the second compartment and its circuit breaker, which minimizes installation work by the private operator. Because the electrical device is produced in the form of a module separable from the second compartment, it will subsequently be possible for the private operator to deposit it in full without having to cut the power in the connection device, and therefore without intervention of the network manager.

Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of maintaining the connection device according to the invention, which comprises the following steps:

- disconnection of the additional module from the downstream terminals of the circuit breaker, which can thus be carried out without requiring the opening of the first locking device;

- removal of the additional module, for example at the end of the concession or operation, or even replacement of this additional module with another, for example for maintenance or update or change of function or dealer.

According to one feature, the step of removing the additional module comprises, on the one hand, an operation for dismantling a masking roof fixed to said module; and on the other hand, after separation of the additional module from the connection device, an operation for mounting said masking roof on a reception surface of said connection device, left free by said separation.

Various embodiments of the invention are provided, integrating, according to all of their possible combinations, the different optional characteristics described here.

Description of exemplary embodiments

FIGURE 3 illustrates an example of a connection device according to a first exemplary embodiment of the invention.

This device 1 comprises a common casing 1 which includes two compartments 11 and 12 separated, for example by a partition. The first compartment 11 contains the CCPI individual circuit breaker, and the second compartment 12 contains the AGCP circuit breaker. In this example and

- 15 optionally, a counter is included in the second compartment 12. Alternatively, it could also be installed in the first compartment 11.

The envelope carries two openings (here disjointed but which can also be adjacent or even communicating) closed by two independent doors 118 and 128, each controlled by a locking lock 119 and 129 respectively. One 118 allows access to the first compartment 11 and therefore to the CCPI circuit breaker, the other authorizes access to the second compartment 12 and thus to the AGCP circuit breaker. In some variants, the second opening allows access only to the downstream terminals of the circuit breaker, or to the only electrical part located downstream of the CPT meter.

The electrical connections are made here in a similar way to those of FIGURE 1 and FIGURE 2.

In this embodiment of the invention, the intermediate electrical connection 92 crosses the separation between the two compartments 11 and

12. Alternatively, this crossing can be carried out between the CPT meter and the AGCP circuit breaker, or by the CPT meter itself or any rigid connection device interposed between two portions of this intermediate link 92.

The electrical appliance 2 is enclosed in an envelope 20, which is here placed on a receiving surface 102 carried by the upper face of said envelope 10, here in the shape of a parallelepiped. The electrical appliance 2 is here fixed to the casing 10 of the connection appliance 1 by a fastener 201, for example in a known manner, and the functional unit 21 of its components is supplied from the AGCP circuit breaker by a connection of exit 93 which crosses the two envelopes 10 and 20 in a part where they are contiguous (or a region to which they prohibit access from the outside).

As will be understood, once installed and connected, the connection device 1 and the electrical device 2 together form an electrical infrastructure device 3 which is capable of performing the same functions as if it were constituted like those of the prior art.

- 16 FIGURE 3a illustrates, within the framework of an embodiment of the invention with envelope 10 common to the two compartments 11, 12, a variant with respect to the arrangement of FIGURE 3.

In this variant, the second opening 128 forms a door which is fixed to the movable wall forming the first opening 118. That is to say that the first opening 118 itself has an orifice which is closed by the second opening 128 With the first lock 119, the network manager can open the door 118, and thus access the entire interior volume of the envelope 10.

The private operator, on the other hand, has the key only for the second lock 129 which locks the second door 128 on the first door 118. By opening only this second door 128, it can only access the components which are located under the uncovered orifice, here the only AGCP circuit breaker.

As will be understood, the key provided for the first lock 119, or first key, thus constitutes a global key which gives access to the two compartment locks, whatever the operating mode of the second lock 129 and without having to interact with it.

This variant can also be applied to embodiments with several envelopes, for example by mounting the first opening 118 after assembly of the two compartments 11 and 12, or by letting the first opening protrude from the first envelope while waiting to assemble the second envelope.

FIGURE 3b illustrates an example of a connection device according to the first exemplary embodiment of the invention, in a particular version with a removable masking roof 103. In this example, the connection device 1 is provided with two additional modules 2 and 2 'connected in series. It will be noted that these particular characteristics are compatible with different variants of the invention, in particular those of FIGURE 3 and FIGURE 3a.

According to this feature, when the connection device 1 is installed alone, the reception surface 102 and / or the outlet orifice 127 of its envelope 10 are masked and protected by a removable masking roof 103, shown here in dotted lines. . This masking roof is fixed on

- 17 the envelope 10, for example by a removable fixing from inside the second compartment 128, possibly removable exclusively from this second compartment.

After dismantling this masking roof 103, a first additional module 2 is installed on the receiving surface 102 of the connection device 1, and connected to it by an inlet port 203 corresponding with the outlet port 127 The envelope 20 of this first module 2 itself comprises a reception surface 202, similar to that 102 of the connection device 1. This reception surface 202 itself receives a second additional module 2 ′, here represented in the same way but which can have different forms and / or functions.

This second additional module 2 'is connected by its inlet orifice 203 to the first additional module 2 by an outlet orifice 207, carried by the latter to the same location as the outlet orifice 127 of the connection device 1. This second additional module 2 ′ also includes a reception surface 202 and an outlet orifice 207.

The masking roof 103, which was initially fixed on the connection device 1, is then fixed on the second additional module 2 ′, from which it masks the reception surface 202 and protects the outlet orifice 207.

The number of additional modules can thus vary from zero to a large number, which is only limited by the overall technical constraints of the infrastructure device 3 'thus formed.

FIGURE 4, FIGURE 5 and FIGURE 6 illustrate examples of electrical devices of different types made from the same type or model of connection device 1, here according to the embodiment of FIGURE 3. Only the electrical appliance 2 differs between these examples, thus forming an additional module that is simpler and more economical to produce and transport without its connection part 80.

In FIGURE 4, a type of IRVE additional module makes it possible to constitute an electric vehicle charging station 31.

In FIGURE 5, another type of DAB additional module makes it possible to constitute a bank machine or automatic teller machine 32.

In FIGURE 6, yet another type of additional ECL module makes it possible to constitute a street lighting fixture 33.

FIGURES 6a to FIGURE 6c illustrate different stages of a process for installing such an electrical infrastructure device 3, according to the first exemplary embodiment of the invention.

In this embodiment, the envelope 10 is shown as forming the same self-supporting object, that is to say that it can be handled and moved as a single object. Such an envelope can be produced for example by a single piece, or by assembling several elements, for example assembled in the factory.

In FIGURE 6a, the connection device 1 is installed on its location, preferably supplied pre-equipped with its internal devices (CCPI, CPT and AGCP) and pre-wired internally.

In FIGURE 6b, the network operator, his authorized agent, connects the device 1, by installing and connecting the connection link 91. Since all the downstream circuits are already protected and connected according to standards, he can therefore insert the fuses C9 of the CCPI circuit breaker. It locks by leaving the lock 119 of the first compartment 11. The modified objects are shown in gray.

In many cases, the authorized agent is a company which can also supply the connection device 1 at the request of the private operator, especially since the connection device 1 is modular, and of a type common or even standard for many types of functional modules 2. The operations of FIGURE 6a and b can then be carried out in a single intervention, which is also possible without requiring the presence of the private operator.

In FIGURE 6c, the private operator installs his functional module 2. He has the key to the lock 129 of the second compartment 12, but it does not allow him to open 119 the first compartment 11 which is locked (as illustrated by the black filling of square 119). The connection link 91 and the CCPI circuit breaker are therefore inaccessible to it, in accordance with the most current standards and regulations. Having access to the second compartment 12 and its equipment, the private operator can therefore set up the output link 93 on the AGCP circuit breaker and connect it to its functional module 2. The

- 19 circuit breaker is already supplied, it is then possible for it to prepare and commission the complete device 3, without additional intervention from the network operator and without requiring itself to have an authorization to intervene in the area located upstream of the delivery point.

As can be understood, the entire installation and commissioning of the complete device 3 can be carried out more quickly and more flexibly: the whole requires only one intervention from each operator, which interventions do not need to take place simultaneously.

In a second exemplary embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in FIGURE 7a to e and FIGURE 8, the first compartment 11 and the second compartment 12 are each formed in a compartment envelope, respectively 101 and 102, which are assembled together integrally to form the casing 10, by one or more connection means 109 which may or may not be removable, for example in a known manner.

It will be noted that this second embodiment can completely be pre-assembled together and be implemented in the manner described with reference to FIGURES 6a to c.

FIGURES 7a to d illustrate different stages of another process for installing an electrical infrastructure device 3, according to two different variants, for this second exemplary embodiment of the invention.

This assembly is illustrated here as being done directly in the field, but it can also be carried out upstream, for example in a warehouse by the supplier or in a preparation workshop by the company which will then install it.

In FIGURE 7a, the first compartment 11 is installed at its location on the public highway. Even if this first compartment is not connected to the network 9 at this stage, as illustrated here, it is possible to carry out the work necessary to set up the connection link 91 without connecting it to the network. These works, for example of roads, can thus be programmed and carried out by the private operator, or by another operator intervening on the site such as a contractor

- 20 roads and highways, without requiring the intervention of the network operator or his authorization. These works are then finalized by the installation of the first compartment 11, 101 and its partial connection 91. This installation and these works can thus more easily be integrated into a heavy construction schedule, for example of roads, without the need to install the complete terminal 8, and therefore without requiring the intervention of the private operator managing the future electrical appliance 2. In addition, once installed alone, the compartment 11, 101 represents a smaller footprint than the complete terminal 8, is more resistant to shocks and possible damage that can occur in a heavy site, and cheaper to replace if it is damaged all the same.

In FIGURE 7b or FIGURE 7c, for example after completion of the main site, the rest of the terminal 3 'is installed by the private operator who is responsible for it.

In the variant of FIGURE 7b, the second compartment 12 is installed and is assembled (gray arrow) and secured by the first compartment 1 by the fasteners 109. Independently, for example simultaneously or subsequently, the functional module 2 is installed ( gray arrow) and fixed on the connection device 1 thus formed, to which it is fixed by the fixing 201.

In the variant of FIGURE 7c, the second compartment 12 and the functional module 2 are delivered preassembled and preferably prewired together. Preferably, the functional module 2 is integrally fixed on the second compartment 12, removably by the fixing 201. This pre-assembled assembly 301 is self-supporting and is installed in a single operation (gray arrow) on the first compartment 11, to which it is assembled by the fasteners 109.

In these two variants, once assembled together by the fasteners 109, these two compartments 11, 101 and 12, 102 thus form a connection device 1 'according to the second embodiment of the invention.

In FIGURE 7d, the private operator connects the two compartments 11 and 12 by connecting the intermediate link 92. In the case of the variant of

- 21 in FIGURE 7b, it also connects the functional module 2 to the AGCP circuit breaker by connecting the output link 93 (dotted gray / black).

In FIGURE 7e, the network operator intervenes to check the wiring and the internal content of the connection device 1 'and make the connection 99 to the network 9 of the connection link 91 which has been pre-positioned in FIGURE 7a. For this, it does not need to access the content of the functional module 2, which may have locked 209 independently of the connection device 1 '(as illustrated by the square filled in black). Since all the downstream circuits are already protected and connected in accordance with standards, it can therefore insert the fuses C9 of the CCPI circuit breaker. It locks by leaving the lock 119 of the first compartment 11. The modified objects are here shown in gray.

The private operator can then operate the full 3 'terminal without requiring any further intervention from the network operator.

As can be understood, the entire installation and commissioning of the complete device 3 ′ can be carried out more quickly and more flexibly: the whole requires only one intervention from each operator. : FIGURE 7a, FIGURE 7b to d, and FIGURE 7e, or at least a single operation by the network operator (FIGURE 7e) and no new intervention by the site operator, which interventions also do not require 'take place simultaneously.

FIGURE 8 illustrates a step of dismantling an electrical appliance, in the form of the only functional module 2, here shown mounted on a connection appliance 1 'according to the first exemplary embodiment of the invention as illustrated in FIGURE 7a to e.

If necessary, for example to replace the functional module 2 by another or simply to free the location, it is possible for the private operator to intervene directly to disconnect 90 himself the functional module 2 from the AGDP circuit breaker. He can then remove the functional module 2, and if necessary replace it and reconnect another one instead (gray arrows). As long as the owner of the premises does not wish to remove the connection to the network, we understand that these operations can be done without intervention or authorization of the network operator

- 22 since the first compartment 11 remains locked 119 (illustrated by the square filled in black) and its contents inaccessible.

Note that the disassembly of FIGURE 8 applies quite similarly to the connection device 1 according to the first example of embodiment, as illustrated in FIGURE 3 to FIGURE 6c.

Of course, the invention is not limited to the examples which have just been described and numerous modifications can be made to these examples without departing from the scope of the invention.
