Abstract:
The present invention relates to a mains plug (45) and charging system (10) for a motor vehicle (20), wherein the mains plug (45) comprises a contact housing (115) and a sensor unit (135), wherein the contact housing (115) comprises at least one first gripping area (155), wherein the sensor unit (135) comprises at least one first sensor electrode (185, 190), wherein the first sensor electrode (185, 190) is embedded in the contact housing (115), a first section (210) of the contact housing (115) being arranged between a first surface (205) of the first gripping area (155) and the first sensor electrode (185).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a monitoring device and a method of monitoring an impedance of a protective conductor. A first voltage divider is arranged between a first input terminal and a second input terminal, which can be connected to a voltage source. The first voltage divider comprises a series connection of a first resistor and a second resistor, the second resistor corresponding to a threshold value of the impedance of the protective conductor. A second voltage divider comprises a series connection of a third resistor and a bridge diode, and is connected with a first end of the third resistor to the first resistor, and is connectable with a second end to the protective conductor. A measuring device is connected between a first node that is arranged between the first resistor and the second resistor, and a second node, which is arranged between the third resistor and the bridge diode. A bridge voltage is detected between the first and second node if the impedance of the protective conductor is higher than the second resistor.
