Summary:An electronic protection switch includes first and second network terminals and two semiconductor switches of same kind. Each semiconductor switch is formed by an IGBT semiconductor switch and includes a switching element and a diode which is arranged antiparallel to the switching element. A first of the two semiconductor switches is arranged without a semiconductor series connection between a positive potential terminal of the first network terminal and a positive potential terminal of the second network terminal. A second of the two semiconductor switches is arranged without a semiconductor series connection between a negative potential terminal of the first network terminal and a negative potential terminal of the second network terminal. The switching element of each semiconductor switch is arranged so as to be able to conduct and switch off a current from the first network terminal to the second network terminal.
