Abstract

In an exemplary embodiment, an inverter manifests a load output which is capable of being alternately connected, via a switching apparatus with the poles of a d.c. voltage source. Changeover switches are present by means of which the load output can be selectively connected between a midpoint conductor of the d.c. voltage source and the midpoint of a half-bridge formed by the switching apparatus, or into the diagonal of a full-bridge formed by the switching apparatus. The changeover switches for the formation of the half-bridge, parallel-connect two branches of the full-bridge in each instance. By this means, the inverter is capable of being adapted selectively to a high voltage or a high current load.
