Abstract

To determine the deviation of longitudinal signal components from a predetermined value on a balanced two-wire circuit (A,B), a first voltage is measured between one of the wires (A) and a first reference potential by means of a first voltage measuring means (3), a second voltage is measured between the second wire (B) and a second reference potential by means of a second voltage measuring means (4), and the difference between the first and the second voltage is formed by means of a difference forming means (5), said difference being proportional to the deviation of the longitudinal signal components from the mean value of the first and the second reference potential.
