Abstract
A converter includes a controller coupled to a plurality of arms. Each arm includes cells coupled between first and second arm terminals. Each cell includes: first and second cell terminals, switching elements, and a capacitor. The switching elements selectively switch the cells between a state, in which the capacitor is connected to the cell terminals, and a second, capacitor bypass state. The cells are connected in series. The controller selectively operates in a mode to repeatedly switch each of the cells between the states such that the electric current is adjusted to match a predefined current reference value and that the capacitors are partially discharged until the electric voltage each capacitor provides is above a minimum voltage and below a maximum voltage.
