The utility model provides a switching circuit, which comprises a short-
circuit protection circuit and at least one switching element, the short-
circuit protection circuit is connected between a power supply positive
electrode and the at least one switching element, and the protection circuit is characterized by comprising a protection switching circuit which is connected with a power supply end of the switching element and the power supply positive
electrode; and a
peripheral circuit which is connected to the protection switching circuit and the positive
electrode of the power supply and generates an
operating voltage for turning on the protection switching circuit, and when the protection switching circuit is turned on, the positive electrode of the power supply applies a
voltage to the power supply end of the switching element through the protection switching circuit. Therefore, the protection switch circuit can be switched between connection and disconnection, short-
circuit protection can be carried out in a non-one-time mode, the circuit can continue to be used, cost is saved,
system operation efficiency is improved, a
peripheral loop generates working
voltage enabling the protection switch circuit to be connected through the positive electrode of the power source, the
recovery speed of the protection switch circuit can be increased, and the service life of the protection switch circuit is prolonged. And the circuit structure is simplified.
