Methods and electric circuit arrangements for protecting metallic components in an electrolytic medium from corrosion due to direct-current (DC) stray current (Is) from a power supply system. The DC stray current may be jointly registered as a total sum current across all active conductors together with the protective conductor of the power supply system by a DC total differential-current sensor. Alternatively, a combined DC differential-current sensor is switchable by a switching device, a differential current being registered across all active conductors or the DC stray current being registered as a total differential current across all active conductors and the protective conductor. Alternatively, a differential current may be registered across all active conductors by a DC current sensor at the protective conductor and the DC stray current computed by forming differences of the differential current registered by the differential-current transformer and of the protective conductor registered by the DC current sensor.
