The invention relates to a domestic appliance (1) having a first and a second electrical connection (4, 5), it being possible to apply an electrical supply system voltage (UN) between said electrical connections, having an electrical load (3), and having a supply system switch device (6) by means of which the electrical load (3) can be coupled to the connections (4, 5), wherein the supply system switch device (6) comprises: a first thyristor (7) which is connected between the first connection (4) and the electrical load (3) and of which the anode is coupled to the first connection (4) and of which the cathode is coupled to the electrical load (3); a second thyristor (8) which is connected between the second connection (5) and the electrical load (3) and of which the anode is coupled to the electrical load (3) and of which the cathode is coupled to the second connection (5); and a triggering device (10) for triggering the thyristors (7, 8). The triggering device (10) has an electrical switch (10) which is common to both thyristors (7, 8) and by means of which an electrical triggering current can be applied to a gate connection (9) of the first thyristor (7) and to a gate connection (11) of the second thyristor (8).
