1. A method for operating an electrical energy supply device, for supplying electrical energy to electrical components from an energy source, the method comprising:
providing the energy supply device with a current limiting apparatus, via which a maximum electrical output current output by the energy supply device is limited; and
providing the energy supply device with a limiting current function that changes over time, the limiting current function predefining a limiting current, which is an input variable for the current limiting apparatus,
wherein when an overload condition occurs, the limiting current increases to a first overshooting level,
wherein the limiting current function has at least one transition function section, during which the limiting current decreases from the first overshooting level to a second overshooting level, and
wherein the limiting current is retained for a period of time at the second overshooting level and then decreases to a third level.
