An electrical circuit arrangement for producing pulsed-
voltage sequences for the operation of discharges which are impeded dielectrically comprises a series circuit formed from a tuned circuit 
inductance (TR2-A) and a controlled switch (T1), a 
pulse generator (OS) which drives the switch (T1), an electrical valve (D1) which is connected in parallel with the switch (T1), a tuned circuit 
capacitance (C2) which is likewise connected in parallel with the switch (T1), a means (TR2-B, a'', b'') for 
coupling a lamp (La1) to at least one 
electrode which is impeded dielectrically, and, optionally, a buffer and 
feedback capacitor (C1) which is connected in parallel with the series circuit formed by the tuned circuit 
inductance (TR2-A) and the switch (T1). The means for 
coupling a lamp comprises in particular two connections (a'', b'') and the secondary winding (TR2-B) of an 
autotransformer (TR2), which is connected between a first pole of the switch (T1) and the corresponding connection (a''), the primary winding (TR2-A) of the 
autotransformer (TR2) acting as the tuned circuit 
inductance. The second connection (b') is connected to the second pole of the switch (T1). In operation, the switch (T1) opens and closes alternately in time with the drive 
signal of the 
pulse generator (OS), as a result of which a sequence of 
voltage pulses, which are separated by pauses, is produced at the electrodes, which are impeded dielectrically, of a lamp (La1) which is connected to the connections (a'', b'').
