Abstract

A method for checking the plausibility of a measurement result for an electric current by a current sensor connected to an electrical circuit, the method including: making a predetermined change to the switching state of the electrical circuit; detecting, by the current sensor, a change to the electric current resulting from the change to the switching state as a measurement result; and checking the plausibility of the measurement result by contrasting the change to the switching state and the change to the electric current.
