ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In an electrolytic tank wherein cathode sheets and anode plates are arranged alternately close to each other and wherein the cathode sheets are attached to cathode bars being in contact with current rails of the tank, there is provided a method and a device for detecting and eliminating short-circuits between cathodes and anodes, in which method and apparatus the total current of each cathode bar is determined by measuring a current- dependent quantity, such as the magnetic field, the temperature Or similar, thereof, a short-circuit condition is recognized if the determined current exceeds a predetermined value, and, when- ever such short-circuit is thus detected, the cathode sheet in question is replaced with a fresh cathode sheet by a device which is movable along rails or simiar above the cathode/anode row and which is provided with a fork member or similar for lifting the defect sheet and for lowering the new sheet to replace the one removed. Preferably the detecting means comprises a row of gauss- meters attached to a common bar extending along the row of cath- odes/anodes. The replacing device may comprise a movable carriage and the operation thereof is preferably controlled automatically by a programmed control unit.
