Method and device for compensating electromagnetic interferences

A method for compensating electromagnetic interference on an output signal of a sensor, wherein a pre-determined singular number or plurality of at least temporarily current-carrying electrical conductors in the vicinity of the sensor are classified as interference signal sources possibly influencing the output signal of the sensor, comprising:

• detecting the output signal of the sensor;
• determining for at least one of the interference signal sources that it is currently current-carrying;
• determining for the at least one of the interference signal sources a fixed correction variable or a correction variable on the basis of a detected instantaneous current strength in each current-carrying conductor for each determined current-carrying interference signal source;
• and
• correcting the output signal of the sensor based on the determined fixed correction variable or correction variable on the basis of a detected instantaneous current strength.
