  • Patent number: 8896258
    Abstract: A method for starting an electric motor having a rotor, comprising the following steps:—driving the rotor with a first torque in a first rotational direction, wherein a maximum value of the first torque is not higher than a maximum countertorque acting counter to the rotation of the rotor, so that the rotor comes to a standstill in a first stationary position;—driving the rotor starting from the first stationary position in a second rotational direction that is counter to the first rotational direction until the rotor comes to a standstill in a predefined second stationary position; and—starting from the rotor in the first rotational direction starting from the second stationary position.

  • Patent number: 8791715
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a controller for controlling and/or monitoring a three-phase electric motor, in particular an asynchronous or synchronous motor, wherein two phase currents are measured and an error signal is generated if at least one of the two measured phase currents is essentially zero. An error signal is also generated if none of the two measured phase currents is essentially zero, but a sum formed of the two measured phase currents is essentially zero.
