Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for switching on a power switch (SS) arranged between capacitive elements (CDLC, B) a choke (L) being connected in parallel to the switching contacts of the still open power switch (SS). Said choke enables compensating currents to flow between the elements (CBDLC) to be interconnected and to decay before the power switch (SS) is then closed in a de-energized manner.
