  • This circuit arrangement has a safety shutdown, which shuts down the inverter during abnormal operation.
  • the shutdown device consists essentially of a thyristor, which is parallel to the control electrode Switching transistor of the inverter is switched, and from a Zener diode that the Gate of the thyristor controls. In the event of an abnormal operating state, the thyristor switches through and withdraws the control signal from a switching transistor of the inverter and thus causes the circuit arrangement to be shut down.
  • the circuit arrangement according to the invention has a shutdown device, which at the operating device is switched off in the event of an abnormal operating state.

If there is an abnormal operating state, e.g. in the case of a defective lamp, the threshold switch switches through and sets the bistable multivibrator, making the switching path of the controllable electronic Switch is conductive and thus a transistor of the switching power supply Control signal is withdrawn.
