Abstract (en)
[origin: CA3198396A1] The invention relates to an electrolysis device (10) having at least one electrolytic cell (12) and an electrolysis energy source (14) connected to the at least one electrolytic cell (12). The invention also relates to a method for operating an electrolysis device (10), in which an electrical electrolysis current (48) is applied to at least one electrolytic cell (12) of the electrolysis device (10) during normal operation in order to perform electrolysis of a substance located in a reaction chamber of the electrolytic cell (12), and in which the electrical electrolysis current (48) is detected by means of a sensor unit (46). The aim of the invention is to improve the safety of an electrolysis device (10) or of an electrolytic cell (12) and to improve the operation thereof outside the normal electrolysis operation. According to the invention, a protective voltage (US) is applied to the at least one electrolytic cell (12) according to the detected electrical electrolysis current (48), which protective voltage is provided individually for the at least one electrolytic cell (12).
