Abstract

An electronic switch for connecting units of a power supply system has a semiconductor switch, an actuation circuit and a current/voltage sensor for detecting current flow through the electronic switch. The actuation circuit operates the semiconductor switch, depending on oscillations measured by the current/voltage sensor, in an activated state, a deactivated state or a linear mode. A power supply system having the electronic switch for connecting with the electronic switch two electrical sub-networks and a method for operating the electronic switch are also disclosed. The semiconductor switch is operated at least temporarily in the linear mode for damping oscillations.
