ABSTRACT:
A DC converter is connected to a DC source on its input side. On the output side, the DC delivers a converted DC voltage to at least one electric consumer via a cable connection. To improve such a DC converter in that it has a comparatively simple structural design and is able to reliably convert high DC voltages even in the case of high power, and in such a way that the reliability of the converter is increased and cooling systems entailing high costs can be dispensed with, the DC converter comprises a plurality of DC converter components, each of said DC components being, on the input side, serially connected to the DC source and, on the output side connected in parallel to the cable connection so as to provide the converted DC voltage for the electric consumer.
