Abstract
A converter apparatus includes a string of electrically interconnected modules that includes a first group of modules comprising a first module and a second group of modules comprising a second module. A first screen is connected to a first defined electric potential and is located adjacent the first group of modules and a second screen is connected to a second defined electric potential and is located adjacent the second group of modules. During operation of the converter apparatus a resonance loop is created from the first module via the first and second screens and the second module back to the first module. A damping unit is located in the resonance loop and is set to dampen electromagnetic noise.
