Power converter and method for operating a power converter

Abstract

The present invention relates to a power converter and to a method for operating same, wherein the power converter is designed to receive two input potentials DC+ and DC−, the power converter comprising a first anti-interference capacitor in order to connect the input potential DC+ capacitively to earth, a second anti-interference capacitor in order to connect the input potential DC− capacitively to earth, a first voltmeter for measuring a first voltage drop Uyp across the first anti-interference capacitor, a second voltmeter for measuring a second voltage drop Uyn across the second anti-interference capacitor, and a calculation unit which is designed to determine a DC link voltage Uzk dropping between the input potential DC+ and the input potential DC− using the first voltage drop Uyp and the second voltage drop Uyn.
