Abstract:
Apparatuses ( 10 ) for determining statuses of load circuits ( 11 ) comprise terminals ( 1, 2 ) for exchanging current signals with current sources ( 12 ). The load circuits ( 11 ) comprise D loads (L 1 -L D ) in series combinations coupled to the terminals ( 1, 2 ). The apparatuses ( 10 ) further comprise capacitance circuits ( 3 ) comprising E monitor capacitances (C M1 -C ME ) with first contacts coupled to each other and to one of the terminals ( 1, 2 ) and second contacts coupled to interconnections between the loads (L 1 -L D ). The apparatuses ( 10 ) further comprise detection circuits ( 4 ) for detecting voltage signals present between the first and second terminals ( 1, 2 ), and derivation circuits ( 5 ) for deriving the statuses of the load circuits ( 11 ) from the detected voltage signals. Thereto, the derivation circuits ( 5 ) may calculate instantaneous capacities comprising steps indicative for said statuses of the load circuits ( 11 ). The capacitance circuits ( 3 ) do advantageously not interfere with the load circuits ( 11 ) in steady-states, and may further comprise F parallel capacitances (C P1 -C FP ) in parallel to the loads (L 1 -L D ).

Claim (Index 13):
The apparatus as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the time interval starts from a first moment of starting to receive the current signal from the current source and ends at a second moment of current going through all loads is stable.
