In a circuit apparatus for transformerless conversion of an electric direct voltage of a two-pole direct voltage source (1) connected to ground having a first voltage pole (+) and a second voltage pole (-) into an alternating voltage, hazardous capacitive leakage currents are avoided by connecting the direct voltage source (1) to ground and the DC-AC converter (400) is operated at a controlled intermediate circuit voltage, a DC-DC converter stage (300) being connected between the direct voltage source (1) and the DC-AC converter (400), said DC-DC converter stage providing at its output a +/- voltage that is symmetrical with respect to the grounding point, two series-connected capacitors (41, 42) having the same polarity and being connected to ground at their connecting point (V) and controlled are charged by two buck-boost choppers (100, 200) connected one behind the other.
