A device for connecting at least one single-phase power supply line which, in particular, feeds the overhead line of a railroad track, to a three-phase power supply network. A primary side of a transformer is connected to the power supply network and a secondary side is connected to the single-phase power supply line and to a ground connection. A symmetry device is connected to a phase of the transformer, to the ground connection, and to the single-phase power supply line.

Device for connecting a single-phase supply line to a three-phase power supply system

A static converter includes a current converter on the three-phase side and a current converter on the single-phase side, which are electrically conductively linked to one another on the DC voltage side, and which are respectively electrically conductively connected on the AC voltage side to a feeding three-phase network and a single-phase receiving network. According to an embodiment of the invention, one network-commutated current converter is provided as the current converter on the three-phase side, wherein the current converter on the single-phase side has two phase modules which are connected in parallel on the DC voltage side and whose current converter branches each have at least one two-pole subsystem. This results in a static converter which is simpler and costs less than a known static converter.
