Abstract
A converter apparatus for energy harvesting comprises a converter and an associated control device. The converter comprises a first charging circuit for charging a galvanic energy store () when a positive voltage of a connected energy harvesting device is applied and a second charging circuit for charging the galvanic energy store when a negative voltage of the connected energy harvesting device is applied. The charging circuits each have an electronic switch and an electrical energy store connected in series therewith. The control device is used to actuate the electronic switches on the basis of a polarity of the applied voltage of the energy harvesting device.
