An Spannung legen simply means to connect to a voltage. I draw a blank on the bonus question.

Connect to DC voltage
Klaus is right. As to the bonus question, it is referred to as forming the capacitors in English. Electrolytics need to be "Formed" after sitting idle for a long time... months.

Sorry...I didn\'t read it right the first time. Was thinking about electrolytic caps in a rectifier or inverter. The electrolyte has be made to coat the plates again after the caps have been out of service for a long time, otherwise they blow up. This is known as forming. Your simply slowly raise the voltage over a period of time to get it back on the plates. Don\'t know if this applies to \"Katalysator\" though.
