Abstract: The invention is a pulse-controlled inverter with one or more semiconductor switches and freewheeling diodes arranged in parallel to each semiconductor switch. The semiconductor switches are triggered only when the current does not flow through a freewheeling diode that is arranged in parallel to the semiconductor switch. This allows the number of triggering processes for the semiconductor switch to be reduced. The reduced number of triggering processes for the semiconductor switches results in lower power losses and an increased service life of the entire system.

Abstract: An inverter for an electric machine is specified that includes a plurality of switching elements, in particular six, which are positioned in a bridge circuit and produce a connection between the electric machine and a battery. The switching elements built into the low-side branch of the inverter are ones that are conductive without a control voltage present, i.e., normally-on switching elements. That ensures that if the supply voltage is absent and the electric machine is rotating the windings of the electric machine are short circuited and no overvoltages are able to occur. In normal operation the inverter is operated like a conventional inverter, by clocked actuation, but with reversed actuation of the control electrodes, i.e., with control voltage for non-conductive time phases and without control voltage in conductive phases.
