Abstract
A method for switching an operating current in a meshed DC voltage network enables operating currents in a DC voltage network to be switched economically in both directions. At least one converter connected to the DC voltage network is controlled in such a way that a zero current is generated in a switching branch having a mechanical switch and the mechanical switch is actuated in accordance with the generated zero current.
