Abstract:
A semiconductor switching string includes series-connected semiconductor switching assemblies, each having a main semiconductor switching element that, when switched on, conducts current flow from a first terminal to a second terminal, and that, while turning off, transitions from a reverse recovery mode in which a reverse recovery current flows from the second terminal to the first terminal to a blocking mode in which no current flows. Each main semiconductor switching element has an active auxiliary circuit, each including an auxiliary semiconductor switching element and a resistive element. Each control unit is connected with each auxiliary semiconductor switching element. Each control unit switches a respective auxiliary semiconductor switching element into a conducting state to divert current through the corresponding resistive element. Each control unit having the auxiliary semiconductor switching elements in their conducting state simultaneously while each main semiconductor switching element is operating in reverse recovery mode or blocking mode.

Claim (Index 5):
The semiconductor switching string according to  claim 1  wherein the resistive element in each auxiliary circuit has a resistance value which results in the amount of current that continues to flow through the resistive element once the corresponding main semiconductor switching element is operating in its blocking mode equating to at least 10% of a peak reverse recovery current flowing through the said corresponding main semiconductor switching element when it is operating in its reverse recovery mode.
