Abstract
A converter comprises a plurality of controllable two-pole sub-modules connected in series. At least some of the sub-modules each comprises a first and a second sub-module connection, a first, a second, a third and a fourth controllable switch, and a storage dipole, which comprises a first and a second dipole connection, an energy store and a controllable switching device, wherein the controllable switching device has a first selectable switching state, in which the storage dipole outputs no energy, and a second selectable switching state, in which the store of the storage dipole can take up or discharge energy. The sub-module has a selectable conduction state, in which the controllable switching device of the storage dipole assumes the first switching state and the first to fourth switches are switched such that a current flows through the sub-module on two parallel branches.
