Zusammenfassung:A method for detecting an insulation fault in a vehicle on-board electrical system having an HV on-board electrical system branch and an LV on-board electrical system branch provides for the LV on-board electrical system branch to have a positive supply potential and a negative supply potential that corresponds to a ground potential of the vehicle on-board electrical system. The HV on-board electrical system branch has a positive HV potential and a negative HV potential which are DC-isolated from the potentials of the LV on-board electrical system branch. An insulation fault between at least one of the HV potentials and a positive LV potential is detected by identifying a current flow through a voltage limiting circuit connected between the ground potential and the positive LV potential.
