  • Patent number: 11095203
    Abstract: In a high-frequency line filter for a converter, the converter has three phase connections for receiving a three-phase alternating signal from a three-phase voltage network and is adapted to convert the received three-phase alternating signal into an output signal for a load. The high-frequency line filter includes: a first filter path for establishing a conductive connection between a first phase connection of the three phase connections and a ground connection; a second filter path for establishing a conductive connection between a second phase connection of the three phase connections and the ground connection; and a third filter path for establishing a conductive connection between a third phase connection of the three phase connections and the ground connection. The high-frequency line filter includes a series connection of a pulse-proof capacitor and a parallel connection of at least two Y capacitors, the series connection being provided in each filter path.

  • Patent number: 9923452
    Abstract: A switched-mode power supply for supplying an operating voltage to a frequency converter includes a supply capacitor configured to supply the operating voltage to a control device for generating control signals for semiconductor switches of the switched-mode power supply. The supply capacitor is chargeable through a start-up circuit from a DC link of the frequency converter. The start-up circuit includes a current regulator that is configured to control a total current from the DC link to the start-up circuit.
