ABSTRACT:
To reduce further switching energy arising upon changing-of-state of a semiconductor switch pair, connected to a load (17), particularly an inductive load, switching dissipating networks (6, 7), each including a storage capacitor (9, 12) which receive and accept switching energy in the respective semiconductor switch (4, 5), are interconnected by an additional network (15, 16; 20; 21-26) to place the respective capacitors, effectively, in parallel for additional energy storage and provide a single network for current flow upon changing-of-state of the respective switch to the capacitors, the energy represented by the current flow being retrievable by forming the additional network (FIG. 3), for example, as a voltage converter, e.g. a blocking oscillator, permitting feedback of the recovered switching energy to a supply source (1, 3) which may be a storage battery.
