Abstract
A DC grid (100) comprising a plurality of AC/DC converters (105) which are interconnected via DC lines (115) is provided, wherein, in order to limit the effects of a fault in the DC grid, the DC grid is divided into at least two zones (200) by means of at least one current limiter (205) in a manner so that a current limiter is connected in each of the DC line(s) (115z) by which two zones are interconnected. A method of limiting the effects of a fault in a DC grid by dividing the DC grid into at least two zones is also provided.
