1. An adapter system for busbars, said adapter system comprising:
an adapter (200) for busbars; and an adapter connection module (400) that (a) has an adapter-side connection device (410) which includes poles (401, 402, 403), (b) a housing (405) from which at least two of said poles (401, 402, 403) protrude, and (c) is configured to be connected with the adapter (200) for busbars to provide an operating position of the adapter system, wherein the adapter (200) for busbars has (a) at least two contact connections (210) for connecting the adapter (200) to a busbar system with at least two busbars (12, 14, 16), (b) a housing (205) having at least two openings (201, 202, 203) for each receiving a different one of said at least two poles (401, 402, 403) of said adapter-side connection device (410), (c) a cable connection arrangement (100) arranged in the housing (205) of the adapter (200) and having a spring clamp structure (120) and a lever switch (110) configured such that
(i) the spring clamp structure (120) exerts a spring force that both spring-loads the lever switch (110) in an “on” position and exerts a force on said at least two poles (401, 402, 403) of said adapter-side connection device (410) inserted into the housing (205), such that said at least two poles (401, 402, 403) of said adapter-side connection device (410) cannot be extracted from the cable connection arrangement (100) when the lever switch (110) is in the “on” position, and(ii) the lever switch (110) is movable against the spring force exerted by the spring clamp structure (120) from the “on” position into an activation position, such that in the activation position of the lever switch (110) said at least two poles (401, 402, 403) of said adapter-side connection device (410) inserted into the housing (205) can be extracted from the cable connection arrangement (100), wherein (a) the housing (405) has at least two pole consumer-side connection devices (420) for connecting an electrical consumer, wherein the adapter-side connection device (410) is connected via an interruptible bridge circuit (440) to the consumer-side connection devices (420), (b) said adapter connection module (400) has a primary switch (460) configured to be toggled between an “on” position and an “off” position, (c) said adapter connection module (400) has an activation lever (480) for actuating the lever switch (110) of the adapter (200) for busbars, wherein the activation lever (480) is movable between an operating position and an activation position, wherein the bridge circuit (440) is in an “on” position when the primary switch (460) is in the “on” position, and wherein the bridge circuit (440) is in an interrupted condition when the primary switch (460) is in the “off” position, and wherein the primary switch (460) has an opening (462) configured such that
(i) the activation lever (480) of the adapter connection module (400) can be forced into the activation position by a tool introduced through the opening (462) of the primary switch (460) into the housing (405) of the adapter connection module (400) when the primary switch (460) is in the “off” position, and(ii) the opening (462) of the primary switch (460) is closed off by the adapter connection module (400) when the primary switch (460) is in the “on” position.
