An electrical energy distribution system and contactor for such system includes a common control device for the power and interconnection contactors that is a programmable computer operating according to a truth table, without prior checking of the state of the contactors. With each interconnection contactor there is associated a device able to prevent the closure of the contactor if its contact terminals are simultaneously energized.

1. An electrical contactor comprising: two contact terminals and a moveable member, which can occupy, with respect to said contact terminals, either an opening position for which said contact terminals are electrically isolated from one another, or a closure position for which said moveable member ensures electrical continuity between said contact terminals; and a controlled device for actuating said moveable member between its two positions, said actuation device comprising a first control input for an electrical opening command and a second control input for an electrical closure command, which contactor incorporates, linked to said second control input for the electrical closure command, a prevention device able to prevent said moveable member from taking its closure position if the contact terminals of said contactor are simultaneously energized. 2. The electrical contactor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said prevention device comprises: two voltage detectors, respectively linked to said contact terminals; and a logic device, disposed between said voltage detectors and said second control input of the actuation device and able to prevent the closure of said contactor if its contact terminals are simultaneously energized. 3. The electrical contactor as claimed in claim 2, wherein said logic device comprises: a first logic gate of NAND type, whose inputs are respectively linked to said voltage detectors; and a second logic gate of AND type, of which an input is linked to the output of said first logic gate and of which the output is linked to said second closure control input of said actuation device, the other input of said second logic gate receiving said electrical closure command.
