Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for limiting a load current in a supply line that supplies a first load with electrical current, the computer program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform the following steps:
defining a first time interval and a second time interval, the first time interval beginning after a time of connection of the first load to the supply line, and the second time interval beginning later than the first time interval;
limiting the load current within the first time interval and second time interval to a first value; and
limiting the load current, at least at an end of the second time interval, to a second value, the second value being smaller than the first value, wherein the first value for the load current is determined, using a load current characteristic curve, as a function of a terminal voltage of the first load, and wherein the second value for the load current is determined by a resistance value at least of parts of the supply line.
