Abstract in another language

The invention relates to a multifunctional connection for energy storage cells or energy consumers, comprising at least one device for charge equalization (113) and/or a measuring device (112) for measuring an electrical voltage of energy storage cells or energy consumers; an electrical bridging element (105) having an electrical connection (109), via which the electrical bridging element (105) can be activated for establishing an electrical connection between two electrical conductors (103, 104) that are electrically insulated from one another, and via which the bridging element (105) is connected to the two electrical conductors in an electrically conductive manner; and a trigger circuit (114) for activating the bridging element (105). One of the two electrical conductors (103) is connected or is connectable to a first pole (101) in an electrically conductive manner, and the other electrical conductor (104) is connected or connectable in an electrically conductive manner to a second pole (102) of the energy storage cell (100) or of the energy consumer. The device for charge equalization (113) and/or the measuring device (112) is connected to the electrical connection (109) of the bridging element (105). Said electrical connection (109) can thus be used simultaneously for triggering the bridging element (105) and for the charge measurement and/or the charge equalization.
