CHARGING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE CHARGING DEVICE

Charging device for a vehicle, wherein the input side of the charging device () comprises an input terminal unit () for connecting a single-phase or multiphase alternating voltage and a PFC stage () for providing a direct voltage at an intermediate terminal (), wherein the PFC stage () comprises a half-bridge () for each phase of the n-phases, wherein a first switching element (S) is connected on one side to the positive ends of the half-bridges and on the other side to the positive intermediate terminal () and being designed to enable or interrupt a current flow between the positive ends of the half-bridges and the positive intermediate terminal () via the first switching element (S).
