  • Publication number: 20230361706
    Abstract: An electric drive unit can comprise an electric machine with a stator and a rotor. The stator can comprise a set of phase windings. The electric drive unit can comprise an inverter for controlling the operation of the electric machine by providing AC signals to the phase windings. The inverter can be electrically coupled to the phase windings. An AC drive signal can be triggered for each phase winding of a first sub-set of phase windings such that the rotor is rotated via the phase windings of the first sub-set. A noise compensation measure can be triggered for at least one phase winding of a second sub-set of the phase windings for compensating an undesired signal effect.
