Device for connecting electric household appliances to an electric power mains

摘要

A device for connecting electric household appliances to an electric power mains (3) has an input line (5) connectable to a terminal (2) of an electric power mains (3); and at least one output terminal (7). The connecting device also has a detection stage (11) for detecting electric power drawn by the input line (5); and a selective coupling stage (10) between the input line (5) and the output terminal (7). The selective coupling stage (10) is controlled by the detection stage (11) to disconnect the output terminal (7) from the input line (5) when the detected electric power is below a predetermined threshold (S THN ).
