Abstract
A method for charging a rechargeable energy store (24), having the steps: coupling the rechargeable energy store (24) to a power supply line (10); ascertaining a piece of utilization information (34) regarding a capacity utilization of a tripping load of a circuit breaker (10) coupled to the power supply line (12); and/or ascertaining a separate piece of charging information (41) regarding a power and/or a time remaining of a separate charging current supplied to a further energy store (30) by the power supply line (12); setting at least one selection variable (48) regarding a time characteristic of a setpoint current intensity of a setpoint charging current supplied by the power supply line (12) to the rechargeable energy store (24), in view of the ascertained utilization information (24) and/or the ascertained, separate charging information (41); and applying a charging current from the power supply line (12) to the rechargeable energy store (24) in view of the at least one set selection variable (48). In addition, the invention relates to a charging device (22) for a rechargeable energy store (24). Furthermore, the invention relates to a circuit breaker (10).
