  • Circuit arrangement for transferring energy
    Patent number: 9960605
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for transferring energy includes an energy source, a control device and an energy distribution network. The energy distribution network has a base element and at least one load element. The base element includes a first intermediate circuit energy storage element which can be electrically connected to or disconnected from the energy source via two first controllable switching elements by way of the control device to form a first energy circuit. The at least one load element includes an energy consumer which can be electrically connected to or disconnected from the connections of the first intermediate circuit energy storage element via two second controllable switching elements by way of the control device to form a second energy circuit.
    Type: Grant
