Abstract
An overvoltage protection circuit including a plurality of series connected thyristors having an overvoltage protection function and a plurality of impedance circuits. Each of the impedance circuits is connected in parallel with one of the thyristors, respectively. The impedance circuits include at least a first impedance circuit having a first impedance value and a second impedance circuit having a second impedance value which is different from the first impedance value.
