Zusammenfassung:An AC switching arrangement is provided with an energy transfer arrangement connected in parallel with a switching mechanism. The energy transfer arrangement comprises a capacitance arrangement and a diode arrangement. The switching mechanism normally closed in a first state, and on reception of a signal indicating the second state, the switching mechanism is arranged to open. When the switching mechanism is in the second state, the diode arrangement is arranged in each AC half cycle to enable energy (source energy, stored inductance energy, etc.) to transfer from the grid to the capacitance arrangement but to prevent energy transfer from the capacitance arrangement back to the grid.
