Abstract: An exemplary installation switching device includes such as a circuit breaker, residual current circuit breaker or motor circuit breaker, a housing, and at least one current path that passes through an internal conductor between at least one input terminal and at least one output terminal. The installation switching device also includes a current sensing unit inside the housing having an interface with at least two data connections and at least two power connections. The housing has an interface opening that is capable of accepting a connecting fixture for connecting the current sensing unit to a bus located outside the installation switching device and containing data and power lines such that the current sensing unit is electrically isolated from the current path and is supplied with power from outside the installation switching device.

Abstract: A module is provided for measuring current flowing in a conductor of a low-voltage distribution board. The module includes a current sensor for detecting the current, a microprocessor circuit for processing an output signal from the current sensor, and a module housing which accommodates the current sensor and the microprocessor circuit. The module housing has an opening for passing the current conductor, an interface with two current connections, and a connection element for releasably fastening the module in the low-voltage distribution board. To enable the module to be simply installed in the low-voltage distribution board and ensure operational reliability of the module, the passage opening extends from a side of the module housing bearing the interface, through the current measuring module, to an opposite side of the module housing, and the module is DC-isolated from the current conductor after it has been installed in the low-voltage distribution board.
