Abstract

A network monitoring device for a supply network and a method for actuating a switch unit are disclosed, wherein the switch unit can control the energy supply of a consumer connected to a supply network. In order to prevent an overload of the supply network or of parts thereof, according to an embodiment of the invention, the network monitoring device includes a communication device, wherein the network monitoring device can receive a switch command for a switch unit via the communication device and transmit same to the switch unit, wherein the network monitoring device is designed to determine a network utilization of the supply network by way of a measurement device and, in dependence on the determined network utilization,; to influence a received switch command for the switch unit, which would lead to increased energy consumption on the supply network.
