  • Patent number: 10994618
    Abstract: A vehicle electrical system is equipped with an inverter, an electrical energy store, an electrical machine and an AC transmission terminal. The inverter has a first and a second side and is configured to transmit power between these sides. The first side of the inverter is connected to the energy store via input current terminals of the inverter. The second side of the inverter is connected to the electrical machine via phase current terminals of the inverter. The inverter has at least two H-bridges. Each of the H-bridges bypasses the two sides of the inverter. The AC transmission terminal is connected to the second side of the inverter.

  • Patent number: 6838842
    Abstract: A brushless, synchronous direct current motor is operated by supplying a direct current voltage as an input voltage for commutating the motor phase windings. The speed of the synchronous motor is modified or varied in two speed ranges. In the first speed range, a linear change of the input voltage is carried out up to a speed threshold value. In the second speed range with higher speeds than in the first speed range, a vector modification of the input voltage is carried out, for example for controlling the speed of a fan motor.

  • Patent number: 6430452
    Abstract: A method and circuit for controlling a controlled variable by a closed-loop control circuit comprising at least two controllers and a control device with a reference stage and a controlled system generating the controlled variable. The reference stage is supplied with a reference variable, which determines the set point of the controlled variable, the maximum value of which is predefined as a function of the control limits of the control device formed as the sum of the control limits of the controllers of the control device. A first controller of the control device is provided with a control deviation, which is formed as the difference between the reference variable and the actual value of the controlled variable. The other controllers of the control device are provided with a control deviation, which is formed, respectively, as the difference between the control deviation of the respective preceding controller and the actual value of the controlled variable of the additional controller.

  • Patent number: 6344973
    Abstract: The invention relates to a power module with a circuit arrangement provided with active semiconductor components and passive components and with a circuit substrate, whereby at least a portion of the active semiconductor components are soldered onto a DCB substrate and at least a portion of the passive components are printed in thick film technology on at least one ceramic substrate. The upper side of the DCB substrate is structured to form track conductors and connecting surfaces for receiving the active semiconductor components and passive components of the circuit arrangement. On the ceramic substrate, for each passive component, a first print layer is printed in thick film technology and at least one contact surface as additional print layer laterally adjoining the first print layer.
