Patent number: 9446668Abstract: A method for driving a vehicle comprising at least two motors is provided. If a plurality of motors are fed from an intermediate circuit via inverters, the current in the intermediate circuit has a plurality of harmonics (?5th, ?3th, ?1st, +1st, +3rd, +5th). To prevent coupling capacitors of the intermediate circuit becoming over-burdened, the switching frequency of the inverters is shifted in such a manner that the harmonics no longer fall into a resonance range.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2013Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Georg Bachmaier, Christian Bachmann, Dominik Bergmann, Marco Cyriacks, Matthias Gerlich, Guillaume Pais, Alexandru Popescu
