ABSTRACT:
In a building electrical network including a power circuit constituted by several loops connected to sockets, lamps 35, 36, 37 and/or other electrically-operated apparatus, and a low-voltage circuit constituted by several loops connected to control means or sensors 38, 39, 40, 41 for controlling the loops of the power circuit, each loop of the low-voltage circuit and the corresponding loop of the power circuit are interconnected through a removable switching module 16 located in a centralized switching block 5. The low-voltage loops are not directly connected to terminals 12, 14 of the switching block, but are connected to terminals 45, 47 of a terminal strip 6, jumpers 46 establishing the connection between the terminals of the terminal strip(s) 6 and the terminals 12, 14 of the switching block 5. The plug-in switching modules 16 include an electronic relay member 21 (e.g. an optocoupler) and a power circuit switching component 23 which may perform various functions (remote ON/OFF, remote dimming, timing, etc.).
