    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a charging system, and more specifically, to a charging system which can prevent power imbalance in each phase in a system that supplies power to one of three phases. The charging system according to various embodiments of the present disclosure described above, the first to third charging terminals are always connected to the R-phase, S-phase, and T-phase of the system respectively, and the fourth to k-th charging terminals are each connected to the R-phase, S-phase, and T-phase using the first to (k−3)th relays when necessary, thereby reducing the number of relays than before. Further, the control unit controls the first to (k−3)th relay units to reduce the load amount deviation in each phase according to the load amount connected to the R-phase, S-phase, and T-phase, thereby eliminating imbalance of the load amount of each phase.

    Abstract: A method controls a converter assembly which has a line-commutated converter. The line-commutated converter has an alternating voltage terminal which can be connected via a phase conductor to an alternating voltage network. The converter assembly further has a switch module branch which is arranged serially in the phase conductor and which contains a series circuit of switch modules at each of the terminals of which bipolar voltages can be generated which add up to a branch voltage. A connection voltage to a connection point between the switch module branch and the converter is controlled by adjusting an amplitude of a positive sequence component of the branch voltage. The converter assembly is configured to carry out a control method for controlling the converter assembly.
