<p>The invention relates to a switching arrangement suitable for ignition and operation of a high-pressure discharge lamp by means of a pulsatory current of changing polarity. For this purpose, the switching arrangement is provided with a bridge network (II), which includes a switching means (21) switched alternately to the conducting and the non-conducting state. The switching means is provided with a control electrode (215) and a main electrode (211), between which a shortcircuit is maintained by means of a shortcircuit switch (27) for the time in which the switching means is in the non-conducting state. According to the invention, the shortcircuit switch is controlled by means of a controlled current source (28).</p> |
