Abstract: The appliance according to the invention has a front face with retention means adapted for cooperating with fixing means belonging to a removable label with rank or function identification characters. This label is molded over an electronic circuit comprising at least one visible light-emitting component, this circuit being connectable to terminals provided on the appliance by means of electric conductors.

Abstract: A device is provided for digitally determining and safeguarding a thermal image including a processor connected to at least one sensor able to form a digital image of the thermal state of an apparatus, a random access memory containing the thermal image formed by the processor and a safeguard for storing, should there be a voltage cut, the instantaneous thermal image. The safeguard includes a programmable digital counter fed by a capacity curing power-cuts and equipped with a clock which modifies its counting state for the duration of the absence of voltage. The processor reads the state of the counter after restoration of the voltage.

Abstract: A protection device has first and second differential transformers each with a toroidal magnetic core through which pass the neutral and phase conductors of an alternating current distribution network, and a secondary winding. The secondary winding of the first transformer is coupled to the input of an amplifier followed by a rectifier, a threshold comparator and a control device adapted to release a circuit-breaker. The secondary winding of the second transformer is coupled to the output of the amplifier. The improvement is constituted by an auxiliary amplifier inserted between the output of the first amplifier and the terminals of the secondary winding of the second differential transformer.
