Patent ID: 10727668

Abstract:
The invention relates to a DC voltage network having a plurality of sections (1) which can be connected together and separated from one another individually or in groups via a respective switch element (5). A pre-charging circuit (10) has diode groups (11), a switch device (12), an energy transmission path (13), and a controller (14). Each of the sections (1) of the DC voltage network is coupled to the energy transmission path (13) via at least one respective diode group of the diode groups (11). The energy transmission path (13) is consistently the same for the diode groups (11). The controller (14) transmits a control signal (S) to the switch device (12) in order to pre-charge sections (1), and the switch device (12) thereby switches the energy transmission path (13) for all of the sections (1) coupled to the energy transmission path (13) so as to be conductive.
