Abstract:
A converter module for a multi-stage converter includes an energy storage device connected in parallel with a series circuit of a first and a second semiconductor switching unit. At least one of the semiconductor switching units has a bidirectional switch. A switch-on unit is connected in parallel with the bidirectional switch. With the switch-on unit there can be produced a switch-on voltage for switching on the bidirectional switch from a voltage dropping across the bidirectional switch. There is also disclosed a multi-stage converter having the novel converter module and a method for operating the converter module.

Claim (Index 21):
The converter module according to  claim 13 , which comprises a first connecting terminal connected to a potential node between said first and second semiconductor switching units, and a second connecting terminal connected to said energy storage device.
