A circuit configuration and system of capacitors for a converter having a filter system, the circuit configuration including a converter, which has an alternating voltage connection, especially for a multiphase input- or output-side alternating voltage source, and a unipolar connection on the input or output side, especially a direct voltage connection, especially for a voltage intermediate circuit, the alternating voltage connection being connected to phase lines, especially to three phase lines, the phase lines having inductances, in particular, characterized in that first capacitances are situated between a phase line and a common star point in each case, it being the case, in particular, that one of the first capacitances is situated between a particular phase line, especially each phase line, and the common star point, it being the case, in particular, that each of the first capacitances is of equal size.
