The invention relates to a method for identifying ground faults in a low-voltage three-phase alternating current circuit with a neutral conductor, wherein the first to third phase conductors and the first to fourth simulated currents of the neutral conductor of the three-phase alternating current circuit are determined signal, these analog current signals contain the magnitude of the current or the equivalent of the magnitude of the current, respectively. According to the invention, the analog current signal is time-multiplexed, analog-to-digital converted, thereby presenting a time-multiplexed sequence of first to fourth digital current values ​​presented in first to fourth consecutive time frames, which constitute first to fourth digital current signals. Three of the four digital current signals are interpolated, wherein interpolated current values ​​are determined for the time frame of the uninterpolated digital current signals. The current values ​​for the time frame of the uninterpolated current signal and the interpolated current values ​​for the time frame of the uninterpolated current signal are used to determine the ground fault.

The method involves switching between operating modes e.g. safety and performance modes, of computer units in a multiprocessor system using a switching unit. Data distribution and / or selection of a data source are dependent upon one of the operating modes. Switching is triggered and / or indicated by a control signal e.g. mode signal, based on the operating modes. The control signal is generated based on the units. An independent claim is also included for a system with a unit for distributing data from a data source.
