Arrangement and method for monitoring and controlling a plurality of series-connected capacitors
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring and controlling a plurality of series-connected capacitances, comprising:
- determining a voltage of every capacitance at least during a discharge of said capacitances; and
in an instance of a drop-off of the voltage of one of the capacitances below a first threshold voltage, said capacitance is bridged over to at least the end of the discharge.

Abstract
A method for monitoring and controlling a plurality of series-connected capacitance, wherein at least during the discharge of the capacitances, there is determined a voltage of every capacitance, and in the instance of a drop-off of a voltage of one of the capacitances below a first threshold voltage of this capacitance, the capacitance is bridged over to at least the end of the discharge. Also provided are devices for determining every voltage of every capacitance, devices for symmetrizing voltages among the capacitances, and devices for the deactivation of at least one of the capacitances.
