  • Patent number: 7592549
    Abstract: A hybrid cable for electrical drives has at least one signal line, power lines for supplying a drive with electrical power, at least one additional line, an inner electrical shield in which the signal line configured as an electrical line is enclosed, the power line and the at least one additional line being located on a periphery of the inner electrical shield, an outer electrical shield which encloses the power line and the additional line, and at least two shield wires located between the outer shield and the inner shield thereby resulting in improved shielding and mechanical separation between the power lines and the additional lines.

  • Publication number: 20080018184
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electric motor (3) comprising a system (4) for detecting the motor state and a motor supply system (10, not represented). The aim of the invention is to keep the dimensions of the outer contours of the whole system (1, 3) as small as possible when assembling the electronics (4, 2) and the motor. Said aim is achieved by the fact that a device (1) for accommodating the system (4) detecting the motor state encompasses at least one component (2) of the motor supply system.

  • Patent number: 7129673
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for field-oriented control of a permanent-magnet-excited synchronous machine. Conversion of an ascertained longitudinal voltage component and an ascertained transverse voltage component into triggering pulses for the synchronous machine is accomplished in a low rotation speed range using a pulse-width-modulated inverter, and in a high rotation speed range using a block switching mechanism or a software program functionally corresponding to a block switching mechanism. The invention reduces output oscillations in the upper rotation speed range that occur in known systems as a result of angular inaccuracies with respect to the target voltage zero transition and the voltage zero transition that is actually implemented.

  • Patent number: 6885166
    Abstract: A method and a device for regulating a polyphase machine, in particular a synchronous machine, in which a direct-axis voltage and a quadrature-axis voltage are determined as manipulated variables of the regulating system, and also including a pulse-width-modulation inverter which generates the phase voltages of the individual phases and is triggered to operate either in PWM mode or in block mode as a function of the operating mode of the electric machine. To simplify the hardware component of the regulating device, PWM control signals and block control signals are generated via software and sent to a PWM/block signal device as a function of the operating mode, the device being capable of generating either PWM signals or block signals as a triggering signal for the pulse-width-modulation inverter as a function of the control signal supplied.
