Abstract

A method operates a multilevel converter for power factor correction of a polyphase mains voltage. Each phase of the polyphase main has an associated phase module with a plurality of sub modules which are connected in series and each have an electrical energy store. Each sub module can be connected to the phase of the mains voltage or disconnected there from by an electronic switch. A circuit breaker is provided for disconnecting the converter from the mains voltage. The converter has a regulation system by which the voltages of the phase modules are balanced when the circuit breaker is open.
