Abstract
The method and circuit detects a current flow over the human body between a forward conductor and a return conductor, and disconnects the network conductors. The output signal emitted by a current sensor connected to a network conductor is detected and a switch for disconnecting the network conductor is then actuated only at a value of the signal of the current sensor between an upper and a lower threshold value.
