  • Patent number: 10910983
    Abstract: The method for adjusting an inverter (1) connected to an electric motor (2) via a du/dt-filter (3) and a motor cable (4) is described. The method comprises the steps of generating a pulse on the motor cable by means of the inverter (1) measuring a cycle time of a pulse answer from consecutive current peaks, determining a time delay td from the cycle time, determining a dwell time Tdwell to be avoided from the time delay td by Tdwell=k*td, k ? {2, 6, 10, . . . } adjusting the time between consecutive switchings of the inverter (1) to be out of a range from Tdwell?tA to Tdwell+tA wherein tA is an allowable deviation from Tdwell.
