Abstract:
A power converter including a bridge circuit is provided. The power converter is designed to convert a direct current of a current source into an alternating current and/or an alternating current into a direct current. The bridge circuit includes a first parallel circuit assembly, which is coupled to a higher potential of the current source and which has a plurality of switching elements connected in parallel, a second parallel circuit assembly, which is coupled to a lower potential of the current source and which has a plurality of switching elements connected in parallel, and a plurality of taps, which are each coupled to the first and second parallel circuit assemblies. Each switching element of the first and the second parallel circuit assemblies has two conducting connections and a control connection, which controls the flow of current from one conducting connection to the other conducting connection. The power converter also includes a control device, which is designed in such a way that, when the power converter is operated at partial load, at least one switching element of a parallel circuit assembly is controlled in such a way that said switching element is not switched on during at least one cycle. The switching elements of a parallel circuit assembly are thermally coupled to one another.

Claim (Index 3):
The current converter according to  claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured in such a way that, when the current converter is operated at part load, a number of switching elements of the parallel circuit arrangements that are actuated in such a way that they are switched on during a cycle are selected in such a way that at least one switching device that is switched on during a cycle is located in each case as close as possible to a range of the highest power output.
