| 1. Electrical supply network for on-board electrical systems of vehicles, comprising:
at least one network system with a current feed-in connection;
at least one load connection; and
a supply line system leading from the current feed-in connection to the at least one load connection, said supply line system
having at least one current-carrying line harness and at least one protective shielding surrounding the line harness;
the supply line system being provided with a detector line system connected at a first end to a detector circuit and connected
at at least one additional end to an end element, the detector line system comprising a line system which is separate from
the current-carrying line harness,
the detector circuit generating a test signal influenced in a defect-free state by the detector line system and the end element,
and
the detector circuit detecting a defect in the supply line system due to deviation of the test signal from a reference value
range corresponding to the defect-free state.
