Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022101421A1] The application describes a converter (10) for power transfer between an AC end (16) of the converter (10) and a DC end (18) of the converter (10), the AC end (16) of the converter (10) being connectable to a grounded three-phase AC power supply system (12), and the DC end (18) of the converter (10) being connectable to an ungrounded DC supply system (14). The converter (10) includes a bridge circuit (20), the AC terminals (ACL1, ACL2, ACL3) of which can be connected to the AC end (16) of the converter (10) via AC switches (22), and the DC terminals (DCL+, DCL-) of which can be connected to the DC end (18) of the converter (10) via isolating switches (26.1, 26.2), a DC link of the converter (10) being chargeable from the AC power supply system (12) via an electrically isolating AC precharging circuit (40). The converter also includes an insulation monitor (34) configured to measure the insulation resistance (50) of the DC end (18) of the converter (10) when the AC precharging circuit (40) is connected to the DC link (18). The application further describes a method for supplying an ungrounded DC supply system (14) from a grounded three-phase AC power supply system (12) by means of a transformerless converter (10).
