Abstract

A circuit arrangement and an electrical system, where in the circuit arrangement, an output terminal of a current limiting control circuit is connected to a control input of a semiconductor switch via a resistor (RG), and a gate driver is connected to the control input of the semiconductor switch via the gate resistor RG and to the resistor (R). The current limiting control circuit is configured to change its output impedance at the output terminal in order to control the semiconductor switch. A source terminal of the semiconductor switch is connected to a reference potential (GND) of the circuit arrangement, and the semiconductor switch is configured so as to set a current (I) in a circuit between an electrical power source and a load. A first inductor (L1) and a second inductor (L2) are connected in series within the circuit.
