Converter inverters, such as are used in the operation of alternating current machines, have turn-off reverse-conducting GTO thyristors in the bridge arms. Parallel to each GTO thyristor there is provided a series circuit composed of a turn-off load-shedding capacitor with a turn-off load-shedding diode. The common junction points of the respective turn-off load-shedding capacitors and diodes are connected in series to a choke via at least one capacitor load-shedding diode. The inductance of the choke is 2 to 3 times as large as the inductance of the circuit. The reverse-conducting GTO thyristors are directly connected in series, without the series connection of a choke. There thus arises a damping circuit of the GTO thyristor, which is very simple and, at the same time, feed back ring-around energy.
