Abstract
The invention concerns a method and a device for controlling the parallel operation of multiple d.c. voltage converters. One of these d.c. voltage converters performs a master function and works with voltage regulation. The other d.c. converters perform a slave function and serve as pure current sources. The d.c. voltage converter serving as the master with voltage regulation usually makes its half nominal current available during operation. It is therefore capable of rapidly correcting short-run load variations in the positive as well as the negative direction due to its control reserves.
