Abstract:
A circuit assembly for linking different electrical voltage levels in a motor vehicle, comprising: an electric machine containing induction coils in a star circuit connection with a star point; a first switch unit containing switch elements for generating an AC voltage for the electric machine from a DC voltage of a first voltage level; a DC voltage of a second voltage level; and a second switch unit for a bidirectional electrical energy flow between the DC voltage of the first voltage level and the DC voltage of the second voltage level, wherein the second switch unit has two switch elements arranged in series in an auxiliary switch branch, wherein the auxiliary switch branch is connected in parallel to the DC voltage of the first voltage level, and each connection of the switch elements is connected to the star point.

Claim (Index 10):
A method for controlling a converter connected between a DC voltage (U 1 ) of a first voltage level and a DC voltage (U 2 ) of a second voltage level, which has an electric machine ( 1 ) having induction coils ( 2 ) arranged in a star point circuit, with a first switching unit ( 4 ) associated with the electrical machine ( 1 ) and a second switching unit ( 6 ) for a bidirectional flow of energy between the DC voltage (U 1 ) of the first voltage level and the DC voltage (U 2 ) of the second voltage level, wherein the switching elements ( 8 ,  8 \u2032,  8 \u2033) of the second switching unit ( 6 ) are controlled in such a way that a star point current (i St ) of the electric machine ( 1 ) flows in a predetermined direction with a predetermined magnitude corresponding to the predetermined energy flow from the DC voltage (U 1 ) of the first voltage level to the DC voltage (U 2 ) of the second voltage level or of the DC voltage (U 2 ) of the second voltage level to the DC voltage (U 1 ) of the first voltage level.
