1. A charging device for charging an at least partially electrically operated vehicle, the charging device comprising:
- at least one electrical component;
a switching device, the at least one electrical component and the switching device being arranged in the charging device such that upon the charging device being connected to a vehicle, a circuit is produced for assisting discharging of at least one capacitor provided on a side of the at least partially electrically operated vehicle, the at least one capacitor being openable or closable via the switching device; and
a measuring circuit to detect a defect of at least one switch, arranged in the charging device and usable to switch a charging process, wherein the at least one electrical component is part of the measuring circuit.

15. A method for assisting discharging of at least one capacitor provided in an electrically operated vehicle connected to a charging device, the charging device including at least one electrical component and a switching device, the at least one electrical component and the switching device being arranged in the charging device such that upon the charging device being connected to a vehicle, a circuit is produced for assisting discharging of at least one capacitor provided on a side of the vehicle, the at least one capacitor being openable or closable via the switching device;
- a measuring circuit to detect a defect of at least one switch, arranged in the charging device and usable to switch a charging process, wherein the at least one electrical component is part of the measuring circuit;
a monitoring device is provided in a region of connection of the protective conductor to the section between the two sequential resistors;
an outer conductor;
a neutral conductor; and
a protective conductor, wherein to produce the measuring circuit the outer conductor and the neutral conductor are connected to one another via two sequential resistors, and the protective conductor is connected to a section between the two sequential resistor, the method comprising;monitoring current in the region of the connection of the protective conductor to the section between the two sequential resistors; detecting a defect of at least one switch, arranged in the charging device and usable to switch a charging process; and concluding the detection with a result of freedom from defects upon the current no longer flowing or upon the current being below a threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
