Abstract
A converter including a converter control for a wind turbine and a chopper, wherein the converter control includes a dynamic limit value which is allowable for a first tolerance time and a static limit value of the converter. Furthermore, an overcurrent module is provided which includes a limit value expander which is designed to increase the static limit value by a portion of the difference from the dynamic limit value as additional current, and a dynamic module which interacts with the limit value expander in such a way that overcurrents between the static limit value which is increased by the additional current and the dynamic limit value are routed in a first stage to the converter and in a second stage at least partially to the chopper, wherein a switch is made to the second stage after a second tolerance time.
