A power ring device that includes: a ring conductor; a plurality of
controllers, each controller being connected to the ring conductor and
includes a first control unit; a plurality of paired pick ups, wherein
each pair connects either an electrical consumer device or an electrical
power supply to the ring conductor and to one of the plurality of
controllers, wherein a first pair of pick ups of a first controller is
connected to a first power supply; and a plurality of current sensor
signal lines connecting each control unit to form a data connection;
wherein each controller has a right and left side, a right sided and left
sided switch elements; and a right sided and left sided current sensors
connected so that a first current value measured by the left sided
current sensor of the first controller is transmitted as data to the
first control unit of a second controller.
