Abstract
A converter arrangement includes a converter which can be switched between an AC voltage supply system and a DC voltage circuit and which has converter valves that extend between AC voltage connections and DC voltage connections. Each converter valve has a series connection of bipolar submodules that include power semiconductor devices. The converter arrangement further includes a star point reactor which is located on the AC voltage side of the converter and which has impedance coils that are interconnected to form a grounded neutral point. A suppression filter is connected between the neutral point and a ground connection. The suppression filter is configured to suppress a harmonic of an alternating voltage in the AC voltage supply system.
