Abstract: An electric drive for a mixer drum, including a high-voltage DC voltage power supply to which at least one battery, a power converter and at least one external interface for connecting a stationary electric power supply are connected. The at least one battery is charged only via the at least one external interface, wherein a controller is configured to control flows of energy from and to components connected to the high-voltage DC voltage power supply.

Abstract: A method for operating an electric drivetrain of a working machine is provided wherein the drivetrain comprises a work drive with an electric work motor and a travel drive with an electric travel motor and vehicle wheels, wherein the working machine experiences a speed deceleration from the outside that may result in a braking force acting on the vehicle wheels lower than a driving force acting on the vehicle wheels due to a moment of inertia of the travel motor. The method includes supplying the travel motor with a power in a direction opposite to an operating direction of the travel motor in order to reduce a rotational speed of the travel motor, if it is detected in advance using a situation detection that the braking force acting on the vehicle wheels as a result of the speed deceleration is lower than the driving force acting on the vehicle wheels.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a drive train for a mixer drum, wherein the drive train comprises a generator which outputs a first alternating voltage to a first converter. The first converter is connected to a high-voltage direct voltage network. A second converter is also provided which is connected to the high-voltage direct voltage network and which supplies an electric motor with a second alternating voltage in order to drive the mixer drum. The drive train also comprises a high-voltage battery which is connected to the high-voltage direct voltage network. Finally, a control unit is also provided which is connected to the first and second power converters or the battery and thus controls a flow of energy via the high-voltage direct voltage network.
