Abstract

A power electronics system for charging at least one electrically operated vehicle, wherein the power electronics system has at least two modules each having at least one terminal pair with DC output, at least one rectifier, at least one AC input, at least one DC link and a number of switching elements the switching elements are arranged at and/or between the DC outputs of the at least two modules in such a way that, between the at least two modules, at least one series and one parallel circuit configuration can be selectively dynamically set by suitable switching states of the switching elements.
