Abstract

The invention relates to a method for reducing the idle current requirement of a base frequency clocked supply side converter (1) on idle and with low motor loads, provided with controllable semiconductors (T1,T2,T3,T4, T5,T6), wherein the base frequency clocking of the semiconductor switches (T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6) occurs depending on the desired direction of flow of power. A converter (1) for carrying out said method is also disclosed.
