Abstract
An electronic switch has a first, a second and a third connection and is configured to disconnect a current flow between the first and the second connection. An energy source is connected between the first and the third connection, and a regenerative load is connected between the second and the third connection. The electronic switch includes a semiconductor switch capable of switching currents of different polarity. A fuse is connected between the first connection and the semiconductor switch. A first short-circuiter is connected between the input of the semiconductor switch and the third connection, and a second short-circuiter is connected between the output of the semiconductor switch and the third connection. The fuse has a current trigger threshold between a permanently permitted current and a maximally permitted current of the semiconductor switch. An electrical network having such electronic switch and a method for operating an electronic switch are disclosed.
