Abstract
An electrical converter for conversion between a three-phase AC signal and a DC signal may include a phase selector for connecting the three phase terminals to a first, a second, and a third intermediate node, a first buck circuit having a first switch-node terminal connected to the first DC terminal, and a second buck circuit having a second switch-node terminal connected to the second DC terminal. The first and second buck circuits convert a voltage at the first, second, and third intermediate node to a voltage between the first and second DC terminal. The first and second buck circuits are connected in series between the first and second intermediate node, and include at least one actively switchable device connected between the common node and the third intermediate node.
