Abstract: The invention relates to an electric motor having a stator and a rotor. The electric motor also comprises a controller, wherein the controller is connected to the stator and/or rotor, and is designed for applying current to the stator and/or rotor for rotating the rotor. According to the invention, the controller comprises a pulse width modulator designed for controlling a power output of the electric motor, in order to generate a predetermined number of different current application patterns. The current application patterns each represent a power output of the electric motor, and preferably comprise a time sequence of current pulses, each having a current pulse duration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting blocking or sluggishness (M1, M3) of a DC motor (2). The method comprises the following steps: applying a voltage pulse (Uv,t=Os) to the DC motor (2); monitoring a motor current (IMotor) flowing through the DC motor (2); detecting a maximum value of the motor current (IMotor) following the application of the voltage pulse; checking whether a change in the motor current (IMotor) after reaching the maximum value exceeds a specific amount; signalling the blocking or the sluggishness (M1, M3) of the DC motor (2) if the change in the motor current (IMotor) after reaching the maximum value exceeds the specific amount.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric motor assembly, particularly for driving a fan for an engine cooling system and/or an air conditioner of a motor vehicle, comprising an electric motor and a motor control device for activating the electric motor. According to the invention, the motor control device can be adjusted according to a characteristic curve (1,2,3,4) of the electric motor and/or of the fan, and thereby the power and/or rotational speed of the electric motor can be adjusted.
