Abstract

A converter circuit arrangement having a DC intermediate circuit (3) includes a transformer (8) having at least two windings (9 and 10). This transformer (8) is connected in the intermediate circuit (3) such that the undesirable, unbalanced current components lead to magnetization of the transformer core and are thus reduced. A grounded LC filter (Lf, Cf) is connected upstream of the load (6) and produces a sinusoidal voltage across the load (6). In consequence, the circuit can be used with any desired rotating-field machines, and thus also for retrofitting existing systems.
