Abstract
A converter circuit arrangement is disclosed. As a result of the fact that GTOs are hard driven, reverse-parallel connected diodes have a reverse current response dV/dt of 2 kV/.mu.s to 10 kV/.mu.s and a low-inductance freewheeling circuit is provided between the DC voltage source and the GTOs, the GTOs and the reverse-parallel connected diodes can be operated without a protective circuit.
