Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for controlling a converter has an ignition unit connected to power semiconductors in the converter and provides control signals for actuating the semiconductors. The apparatus has a control unit whose input is connected to measuring sensors providing actual values and whose output side is connected to the ignition unit. The control unit provides a reference variable for the ignition unit based on setpoint values and the actual values and the ignition unit actuates the power semiconductors such that the actual value corresponds to at least one of the setpoint values. A pilot unit has an output connected to the ignition unit and measures for calculating a step change reference variable for the ignition unit on the basis of at least one of the setpoint values. The ignition unit actuates the power semiconductors based on the step change reference variable.
