  • System for distributing electrical energy
    Patent number: 12062934
    Abstract: A system includes a first, particularly mobile, unit which has a number m of function terminals, a first potential equalization terminal, which is intended to be galvanically connected to a reference potential, an energy source, a power converter, which is fed from the energy source and produces a number m of signals, a switching unit, the signals produced by the power converter being fed to the input side of the switching unit, and the output side of the switching unit being connected to the function terminals, or the input side of the switching unit being connected to the energy source and the output side of the switching unit being connected to the power converter, an insulation monitoring unit, which detects an undesired galvanic connection of a component of the system to the reference potential, and a connection monitoring unit, which monitors whether the first potential equalization terminal is properly electrically connected to a corresponding potential equalization terminal of a second unit to be conn
