Abstract: A method for operating a converter circuit is specified with the converter circuit having a converter unit with a multiplicity of controllable power semiconductor switches and having an energy storage circuit formed by two series-connected capacitors, in which the controllable power semiconductor switches are controlled by means of a control signal formed from a hysteresis signal vector (x), and the hysteresis signal vector (x) is formed from a difference-phase connection current vector (?ifi,i) by means of a hysteresis regulator, and the difference-phase connection current vector (?ifi,i) is formed from the subtraction of a phase connection current vector (ifi,i) from a reference phase connection current vector (ifi,i,ref), with the reference phase connection current vector (ifi,i,ref) being formed from a difference power value (Pdiff), a difference wattless-component value (Qdiff) and a phase flux vector (?g,??).
