Abstract

The invention relates to a half-bridge inverter including a first and a second input terminal (E, N), which form an input of the inverter, a first and a second output terminal (B, A), which form an output of the inverter, a series circuit having a first and a second coupling capacitor (C1, C2), which series circuit is connected in parallel with the input and forms the passive bridge path, the midpoint of the series circuit made up of the first and the second coupling capacitor (C1, C2) being connected to the first output terminal (B), a series circuit having a first and a second switch (S1, S2), which series circuit forms the active bridge path and has its midpoint connected to the second output terminal (A), where a storage capacitor (C3) is arranged in parallel with the active bridge path, and the first coupling capacitor (C1) is connected to the storage capacitor (C3) via a first inductor (L1), and the second coupling capacitor (C2) is connected to the storage capacitor (C3) via a second inductor (L2).
