Abstract

The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for operating electric lamps, and an operating method for electric lamps. The circuit arrangement has an inverter (Q1, Q2) with a switch-off device which switches off the inverter (Q1, Q2) in the case of an anomalous operating state. The switch-off device has a field-effect transis-tor (T1, T1') whose drain-source junction is arranged in the control circuit of an inverter switching transistor (Q2) and switches the control circuit of the inverter transistor (Q2) between a state which is of low resis-tance in normal operation and a state which is of high resistance in anomalous operation. After the occurrence of an anomalous operating state, it is advantageous to switch off synchronously with the blocking phase of the inverter transistor (Q2) in whose control circuit the field-effect transistor (T1, T1') is arranged.
