Abstract
A method and arrangement for charging an intermediate circuit of a frequency converter, the intermediate circuit of the frequency converter comprising one or more capacitors, and the frequency converter having means for charging the intermediate circuit, the means comprising a rectifier bridge, a direct current choke, a direct-current transformer, a zero diode, and a semiconductor switch and a control circuit arranged to control the switch. The method comprises the steps of defining in advance high and low current limits, controlling the semi-conductor switch alternately to conductive and non-conductive states depending on the magnitude of a charging current, and stopping the controlling of the semiconductor switch when the charging current remains below the high current limit.
