A step-up converter for stepping up an electrical input DC supply voltage to an electrical output DC supply voltage, including a voltage input having a positive and a negative input node, a voltage output having a positive and negative output node, a first and second output capacitor connected in series at the voltage output between the positive and negative output nodes and connected to one another via a center output node, and a first inductor connected between the positive and output nodes, a first switch, connected between the first inductor and the center output node, a second inductor connected between the negative output and negative input nodes, a second switch, connected between the center output node and the second inductor, and a total input capacitor, connected at the voltage input between the positive and negative input voltage nodes, the first and second inductors being inductively coupled to one another.

The invention relates to a power inverter circuit for coupling a power station to a power supply system. The invention addresses the problem to reduce the risk of damages to components of the power station and the power supply system in the course of coupling action by providing a power inverter circuit for adjusting symmetry of the AC voltage before coupling the inverter output to a load, comprising: first switching means for selectively connecting a positive voltage to the inverter circuit output, second switching means for selectively connecting a negative voltage to the inverter output, and ohmic resistance means coupled in parallel to the inverter output, a controller for selectively switching the first and second switching means with a switching frequency to produce an AC voltage from the positive and negative voltage, wherein the controller is adapted to alter the duty ratio of the switching frequency to adjust the symmetry of the AC voltage produced by the inverter.
