For an arrangement with turn-off control circuit for a GTO thyristor, with separate pulse transformers for the turn-off control stage and negative bias voltage stage, the secondary windings of which are connected via decoupling diodes or rectifiers to the gate/cathode terminals of the GTO thyristor, the permissible minimum period between two successive turn-off pulses is to be shortened for accelerated turn-off and for use at higher frequencies. This is achieved by the fact that the turn-off control pulse via the pulse transformer (T2) is turned off after only T < tgw but is maintained up to its natural decay as a superposition on the negative bias voltage with freewheeling via the low-impedance secondary circuit of the pulse transformer (T3) of the turned-on negative bias voltage stage (III). Advantages: use at higher frequencies and simplification of the turn-off transformer (T2). <IMAGE>
