Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012017015A2] The invention relates to a method for parasitic current detection in a power supply system (10), which comprises at least one electrical unit (16), a power grid (14) having power paths (18, 20) for supplying the unit (14), and a central electrical feed system (12) for feeding electrical power to the power grid (14), wherein the feed system (12) is connected to one of the first of the power paths (18), at which a reference potential (f1) is present, and to at least one of the second of the power paths (20), at which a potential is present for generating an operating current (f2) through the unit (16), wherein the first power path (18) is grounded by means of a defined grounding branch (22) of a power connection section (26) of the first power path (18) which is connected directly to the feed system (12) and unbranched otherwise. According to the invention, the parasitic current is determined by comparing the operating current to a grounding current flowing through the grounding branch (22). The invention further relates to a device (40) for carrying out said method.
