Abstract
The subject matter of the invention is a device for diverting surge currents or transient overvoltages (), with a switching stage () and a switching element (). The switching stage () is so designed as to switch on the switching element () upon identification of an overvoltage or a surge current. The switching element () is a reversible semiconductor switching element, while the switch-on event is achieved by operating of the switching element () outside of the specified parameters.
