A filter arrangement for filtering parasitic induction currents may include an electrically conductive housing part that at least partly surrounds a cavity, an electric ground connection on the housing part for establishing an electric connection to an electric ground, a busbar in the cavity, and at least one electric filter component electrically connected between the busbar and the housing part and mechanically secured to the housing part and to the busbar. A voltage converter may include at least one such filter arrangement.

A switching arrangement for triggering a semiconductor switching element with a first electrode, a second electrode and a control electrode includes: a pulse generator for generating a control voltage input signal; a bias voltage capacitor; a first electrical resistor electrically connected in series with the bias voltage capacitor between first and second terminals of the pulse generator, wherein the control electrode is electrically connected to the bias voltage capacitor and the first electrical resistor, and the first electrode is electrically connected to the pulse generator and the first electrical resistor; and an additional capacitor connected in series to the pulse generator, the first electrical resistor, and the bias voltage capacitor.

A charge redistribution circuit () for an energy storage unit () with several storage elements () which are connected in series comprises several charge redistribution control units () for monitoring and redistributing the load, each of which is assigned an energy storage sub-group () of storage elements (). The charge redistribution control units () take the energy used for their own supply in each case from the sub-group () assigned to them, and are thus supplied with a voltage which is higher than the voltage of the individual storage element () and lower than the voltage of the energy storage unit (). The charge redistribution circuit () is established in such a manner that a monitoring and&#x2014;when necessary a charge redistribution is achieved for each individual storage element ().
