  • Patent number: 9780586
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (100) for charging an electric energy store (B) from a three-phase AC voltage source (W1, W2, W3), having, in each phase of the AC voltage source (W1, W2, W3):—a step-down converter (TS1 . . . TS3) with a switch (STS1 . . . STS3);—a diode (FLD) connected in parallel to the step-down converter (TS1 . . . TS3); and—a converter (U) which is connected to the step-down converter (TS1 . . . TS3) and which comprises at least one first half bridge (H1) with two serially connected switches (S1, S2), an inductor (L4) being connected between a connection point of the two switches (S1, S2) of the first half bridge (H1) and the step-down converter (TS1 . . . TS3);—wherein a current direction across the inductor (L4) is set by means of a rectifier (D11 . . . D33) in the step-down converter (TS1 . . . TS3); and—the switches (STS1 . . . STS3) of the step-down converter (TS1 . . .
