Abstract

See full text

The object of the invention is a device for detecting an overcurrent, having a current meter, a first counter, and a switch, wherein the current meter measures a current through the device, with the switch being capable of interrupting a current flow through the device, wherein, if the current meter measures a current that exceeds a first current threshold, the first counter is changed by a first increment in a first direction, wherein, if the current meter measures a current that exceeds a second current threshold, the first counter is changed by a second increment in the first direction, with the second current threshold being quantitatively greater than the first current threshold, and with the second increment being quantitatively greater than the first increment, wherein, after a change in the counter, the first counter is compared with a first counter threshold, and if the counter threshold has been reached or exceeded, the switch is actuated continuously such that the current flow is interrupted, and otherwise the switch is actuated for a predetermined time such that the current flow is interrupted.
