Abstract: A voltage multiplier includes: a multitude of winding blocks connected in series; a switching circuit configured to connect to ground a first node arranged between a first winding block and a second winding block and a second node arranged between a third winding block and a fourth winding node; a first controlled switch arranged between the first winding block and the second winding block; a second controlled switch arranged between the third winding block and the fourth winding block; wherein each of the first controlled switch and the second controlled switch is configured to be switched in a conductive state or a non-conductive state; wherein the second winding block and the fourth winding block are coupled to an output of the voltage multiplier, such that an output voltage is set at the output depending on the switching state of the switching circuit.

Abstract: In connection with remote feeder devices it is often necessary to take steps not to exceed limit values, for example the maximally permissible contact voltage. Customary voltage limiters evaluate the voltage at the output terminals of the remote feeder device. The remote feeder current can be distorted by the evaluation. With the invention, a dynamic resistor (V1, V2) is provided at the base point of the voltage limiter (BU), which can be set in such a way that the voltage drop at the remote feeder current regulator (RI) can be compensated. The range of the remote feeding or the distance between the intermediate current regenerators can be increased by means of the steps of the invention.

Abstract: A switching regulator employing pulse width control or pulse frequency control of an actuator includes a current limiting device which receives a signal that is a function of current through the actuator and a signal that is a function of turn-on pulses for the actuator. The actuator is blocked by the current limiting device if the signal that is a function of the turn-on pulses for the actuator becomes smaller than the signal that is a function of the current through the actuator.
