Abstract

See full text

A method for monitoring the power consumption of an electrical consumer that has a capacitive load and the controllable circuit element and the consumer are connected in series. The amplitude of the current flowing through the consumer, the voltage dropping across the consumer, and the change over time of the voltage dropping across the consumer are sensed. An allowed operating current amplitude is calculated from the voltage dropping across the consumer and from a predefined power. A charging current amplitude of the capacitive load is calculated from the change over time of the voltage dropping across the consumer. An allowed instantaneous current amplitude is calculated. The allowed instantaneous current amplitude is compared with the amplitude of the current flowing through the consumer and the electrical resistance of the circuit element is increased if the amplitude of the current flowing through the consumer is greater than the allowed instantaneous current amplitude.
