Abstract
A monitoring device for monitoring a terminal of a terminal component in a power supply system is described, the terminal component being connectable to the power supply system and to a monitoring system via an electrical connection element, and the monitoring device comprising a voltage measuring device for detecting a voltage value of a voltage between a first terminal and a second terminal of the electrical connection element, the first terminal and the second terminal being connectable to the monitoring system, and an evaluation device for evaluating the voltage value, the evaluation device being designed to generate an indicating signal, which indicates a faulty connection to the power supply system if the voltage value differs from a predetermined voltage value.
