Abstract

A method and a device for correcting the DC offset of a converter are specified. The invention is defined in that the output voltage of the converter on the AC voltage side is fed to an essentially passive low-pass filter which reduces the output voltage to a level which can be processed electronically. Connected downstream of the low-pass filter is a controller which controls the DC offset essentially to zero by delaying the switching commands. The low-pass filter and the controller are arranged at a high-voltage potential.
