A converter circuitry between a first network, which may be either a poly-phase medium-voltage alternating current (AC) network, at least one polyphase low-voltage AC network or at least one direct-current (DC) network, and a second network, which may be either a polyphase medium-voltage AC network or a medium-voltage DC network, wherein the converter circuitry comprises at least one power bus and low-voltage power cells both at the first and at the second network side such that each power cell is connected to a power bus via a transformer. Each power bus is connected to a low-voltage power unit, which is able to supply pre-charging power via the power bus to all power cell intermediate DC-link filtering capacitors before the converter is started. The low-voltage power unit is also able to take care of a resistor braking in case the first network cannot take the power supplied by the load connected to the second network.
A converter circuitry configured to transmit power between a first electricity network and a second electricity network, the first electricity network being either a single-phase DC network or a polyphase AC network, and the second electricity network being either a single-phase DC network or a polyphase AC network, the converter circuitry comprising:
