Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a device for voltage equalization of a plurality of two-terminal networks. The device includes a current-limiting component, and connection pairs, each having a first connection and a second connection for connecting the two-terminal networks. Two or more of the first connections are each connected to an input. In addition, two or more of the first connections are each connected to an output via a second switch. The second connections are connected or switchably connected to a common reference potential. The device sets switching states of switches by means of a control unit and/or by means of voltages applied to the first connections in such a manner that the current-limiting component intakes power in its input and not in its output, and the current-limiting component outputs power from its output and not from its input.
