An ARCP converter having a series circuit formed of at least four main switches per converter phase, which are connected electrically in parallel between DC voltage rails is described. A capacitance is connected in parallel with each individual main switch. Two intermediate-circuit capacitances are disposed between the DC voltage rails. A voltage neutral point of the capacitances is available for tapping. Junction points of adjacent main switches which do not form the output are connected to one another via variable-potential intermediate-circuit capacitances for forming commutation cells in a balanced manner with regard to the DC voltage rails. Each intermediate-circuit capacitance is formed of two capacitance elements, whose junction points are available as voltage neutral points, with the output of the converter phase connected to a resonant inductance, whose further connection is connected to all the voltage neutral points via a controllable bi-directional auxiliary switch.
