  • Method for operating an electric synchronous machine
    Patent number: 11404990
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an electric synchronous machine, having the steps of: —generating centered pulse-width-modulated switching signals for switching elements (T1 . . . T6) of half-bridges, wherein two switching elements (T1 . . . T6) are connected to a respective half-bridge in each case; second switching elements (T4 . . . T6) of each half-bridge are actuated in a complementary manner to the first switching elements (T1 . . . T3) of each half-bridge if a sufficient minimum measurement duration (TM) is thereby provided during which the switching signals of switching elements (T1 . . . T6) of two half-bridges lie at different potentials; —otherwise: —generating pulse-width-modulated switching signals for the switching elements (T1 . . . T6) of the half-bridges, said switching signals deviating from the center at least to such a degree that a sufficient minimum measurement duration (TM) is provided, wherein —the switching signals of the switching elements (T1 . . .

  • Method for operating an electrically commutated machine
    Patent number: 11296636
    Abstract: A method for operating an electrically commutated machine. In at least one method step, in particular in at least one method step of overmodulation operation of the electrically commutated machine, a precommutation angle of the electrically commutated machine is set depending on an efficiency of the electrically commutated machine.
