Abstract

A power supply arrangement (MF) for a reactor (R) for producing polysilicon, with a frequency converter, with at least one input for receiving an input current from the supply grid with which the input is connected, and outputs for connecting one or several loads (3), via which the load(s) (3) can be supplied with an output current, wherein the power supply arrangement has a transformerless conversion circuit for converting the input current into an n-phase multiphase AC current, wherein the phase shift between chained voltages of an n-phase AC current system formed on the secondary side of the conversion circuit is 360°/n, wherein n is a natural number greater than or equal to two, wherein the supply arrangement (MF) has n outputs, wherein the outputs from a chain, and wherein one of the chained voltages of the n-phase AC current system is applied at each output.
