Disclosed is an apparatus (20) for monitoring a fault current in a power system. The apparatus does not rectify an AC signal detected from a power system but full wave-rectifies the AC signal using a bridge diode (21-1,21-2) and then monitors a fault current. Particularly, current and voltage in the power system are respectively detected through a current transformer (13) and a Rogowski coil (15), and presence of occurrence of an accident is parallely monitored using the detected current and voltage. Thus, it is possible to prevent a response delay due to a rising time generated when the AC signal is smoothed to a DC signal through a capacitor and to prevent malfunction caused by chattering while performing a fast response at the time when a fault current is generated for the first time.

The invention relates to a method and a circuit arrangement for monitoring the mode of operation of one or more load circuits, especially of a domestic appliance, which comprises a controlled semiconductor switch, such as a triac, and an electric consumer. Said switches are supplied by at least one alternating voltage source that supplies an alternating voltage including positive and negative voltage half-waves. The invention is characterized in that the currents flowing through all controlled semiconductor switches (T1, T2) and electric consumers (R1, R2) are guided through a common low-impedance precision resistor (Rm). The respective voltage drop occurring on this low-impedance precision resistor (Rm) is separately evaluated with respect to the amplitudes of the positive and negative voltage half-waves.
