ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for generating an error signal which characterizes a fault current in an electrical conductor provided with two conductor ends and having charge measuring devices which are connected to each other by data lines. At least one device is attached to each end of the conductor. In the invention, charge measuring values are determined using charge measuring devices. The measured charge values take into account the direction of the charge flow and a total measured charge value is formed by addition. The error signal is generated when the total measured charge value exceeds a certain threshold value. In order to be able to detect errors in a more sensitive manner than had previously been possible, the threshold value is formed by taking into account the individual measuring tolerance of the individual charge measuring devices.
