Abstract
A converter assembly has multi-phase multi-stage converters which are connected to parallel-connected transformers. The converter assembly contains series-connected partial converters, each having three parallel-connected bipolar phase modules, which are formed of two series-connected converter modules. The connection points of the converter modules form the phase connections for the transformers. The phase modules of a first partial converter consist only of unipolar sub-modules and those of a second partial converter consists only of bipolar sub-modules. A controller respectively reduces at least the partial DC voltage of the second partial converter, wherein the partial DC voltage thereof can be inverted at least until compensating the partial DC voltage of the first partial converter if the direct current exceeds a target value.
