Zusammenfassung:A measurement and control apparatus is disclosed having power input terminals configured to connect with a power source, power output terminals configured to connect with a load, the output terminals being switchably connected to the input terminals, and an actuator configured to switchably connect and disconnect the output terminals to the input terminals upon command. The control apparatus also includes circuitry configured to measure the voltage applied to and the current supplied to the load, circuitry configured to transmit data representative of the applied voltage and the supplied current to a control unit, and circuitry configured to receive a command from the control unit, and in response thereto to switchably connect and disconnect the output terminals from the input terminals.
