Circuit arrangement with power factor correction, as well as a corresponding appliance

Circuit arrangement having a mains connection, a mains switch with a first switching contact and a second switching contact, a demagnetization coil and a switch-mode power supply, comprising:

• a driver circuit;
• a transformer with a primary winding and an auxiliary winding, said auxiliary winding providing a supply voltage for said driver circuit;
• a switching transistor coupled in series with said primary winding and said driver circuit producing a control voltage for said switching transistor;
• a bridge rectifier for rectifying a mains voltage provided by said mains connection;
• and
• an energy storage capacitor coupled between said bridge rectifier and said primary winding;
• said circuit arrangement comprising further a power factor coil for power factor correction, which is arranged between said mains connection and said bridge rectifier, wherein
• said first switching contact is arranged between said mains connection and said demagnetization coil for switching said demagnetization coil on and off, and
• said second switching contact is arranged between said auxiliary winding and said drive circuit for switching off said supply voltage.
