Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021191434A1] In order to achieve improved single-phase operation (EB) of an inverter (1) having a first input pole (A) and a second input pole (B) and comprising at least three phase branches (U, V, W), each having at least one upper power circuit breaker (SU1+, SV1+, SW1+) and at least one lower power circuit breaker (SU1-, SV1-, SW1-) connected in series to the at least one upper power circuit breaker (SU1+, SV1+, SW1+) via an output pole (u, v, w), a switching unit (5) is provided, which is designed to switch the inverter (1) from multi-phase operation (MB) to single-phase operation (EB) by closing a centre point connection switch (S2) in order to connect the third output pole (w) to the DC link middle point (M), and wherein the switching unit (5) is further designed, in single-phase operation (EB), to effect a control of the upper and lower power circuit breakers (SW1+, SW1-) of the third phase branch (W) for symmetrising the DC link voltages (UC1, UC2) at the first and second DC link capacitors (C1, C2).
