  • Patent number: 11757389
    Abstract: A method for noise reduction of a three-phase-driven electrical machine includes recording an angular state of a rotor of the electrical machine, calculating a reference frequency on the basis of the recorded angular state, forming a sine and cosine value of the calculated reference frequency, and filtering the sine and cosine value. The method may also include recording a sound-related feedback variable, forming a weighting vector, forming a superposition signal, and applying the superposition signal to a manipulated variable of the electrical machine.

  • Patent number: 10855128
    Abstract: Described is a method for producing a stator, in particular for electric motors. In a first step, a plurality of flexible electrical conductors are combined to form a conductor bundle. In a second step, two end regions of the conductor bundle are pressed in such a way that a central region of the conductor bundle formed between the two end regions remains flexible. Also described is a corresponding stator.
