Abstract
A vehicle, particularly a rail vehicle, includes at least one brake resistor assembly having electrical brake resistors which can receive electrical braking energy and convert the electrical braking energy into waste heat during braking operation of the vehicle. The brake resistors are divided into a first subgroup and a second subgroup, the first sub-group and the second sub-group are electrically connected in parallel, and an evaluating device monitors functional capability of the brake resistors on the basis of a measured variable indicating a differential current between a first subgroup current flowing through the first subgroup and a second subgroup current flowing through the second subgroup. A method for monitoring electrical braking resistors of a vehicle is also provided.
