Abstract

The present invention relates to an electrical circuit arrangement with an active discharge circuit including at least one electrical switching element, by means of which the circuit arrangement can be discharged in controlled manner. The circuit arrangement includes a RC snubber element with capacitor and resistor for damping voltage or current peaks in the circuit arrangement, wherein the electrical switching element is integrated in the RC snubber element and connected in parallel to the capacitor of the RC snubber. This enables the discharge circuit to be designed in a manner that is economical in terms of space and cost. The discharge circuit uses the heat sink for the RC snubber element and therefore does not need any additional heat dissipation systems.
