Abstract

An assembly for electrical protecting a potential short-circuit path in a power network having an energy store and having a system-determined, variable source internal resistance. The assembly includes a separating element, the triggering characteristic of which is insufficiently sized for protecting a first and second conductor section of the potential short-circuit path in a first operating state of the energy store, and a second protection device, which is configured to protect the first and second conductor section against a load which occurs below the triggering limit of the separating element in the first operating state.
