Abstract
A drive circuit for a step motor, where the stator windings of the step motor are in each case connected in series to a diode and where a capacitor is connected in parallel to the series of diode and winding. The above element is provided with power from a d.c. source via a thyristor switch. The circuit provides that upon firing of a thyristor the previously current conducting thyristor is switched off. Thus step motors can reliably be operated, where up to the switching to another winding still a holding current is to flow.
