ABSTRACT:
A hybrid switch is provided for switching a sink on and off. The hybrid switch contains a first semiconductor switch with a commutation switch. According to the present invention, a magnetic drive includes a first magnetic coil through which short-circuit current flows. A second semiconductor switch is connected in series with a second magnetic coil that series being connected in parallel to the series connection of the first magnetic coil and the sink. Short circuit flows through the first magnetic coil via the commutation switch which bridges at least the first semiconductor switch.
