Abstract

A circuit arrangement and to a method for operating the circuit arrangement, particularly a circuit arrangement for the DC power supply of a plurality of parallel electrolysers, where the circuit arrangement has a rectifier which converts an input-side alternating voltage into an output-side first DC voltage. Each electrolyser is respectively connected in parallel to the output of the rectifier by a down converter converting the first DC voltage into a second DC voltage such that the second DC voltage drops over the electrolyser. Each of the down converters is controllable and/or regulatable in order to adapt the level of the second direct voltage.
