Reactive power-capable inverter

The inverter (1) has two input lines (22,23) for connection to a direct current voltage source (2), two half bridges (4,5) connected to input lines and two output lines (16,17) for the connection of an alternating current consumer or an alternating current mains (3). The both output lines of the assigned half bridges are directly connected behind an inductance (18,19) by a switch (20,21). An independent claim is also included for a parallel circuit.
