Abstract
A current supply arrangement, for supplying at least one load with electric energy from a source, includes a switching stage for optionally switching-on the load according to a switching signal applied thereto and a control circuit which, in its switched-off state, cuts the supply of energy to the switching stage and, to the load and in its switched-on state, controls the energy supply to at least the switching stage. Current supply arrangements of such a type are used more specifically in television sets having remote control for 'normal operation' and a 'stand-by mode'. So as to obtain for this arrangement the advantages of the 'stand-by mode' and, on the other hand, to reduce the electrical power consumed and also the number of modules loaded by heating or voltage charges, the switching signal is also applied to the control circuit for switching between the switched-off and the switched-on states.
