  • Patent number: 10027263
    Abstract: A method for detecting a fault in an electrical machine, e.g., a synchronous motor, a motor control unit for controlling an electrical machine, and a motor arrangement having such a motor control unit are disclosed. According to the method, rotation angle data are determined, which data are dependent on a rotation angle of a rotor of the electrical machine in the absence of the fault. In addition, additional data are determined and allow conclusions to be drawn on the fault. A fault is detected if the rotation angle data satisfy a first criterion and the additional data satisfy a second criterion.

  • Patent number: 9843280
    Abstract: A motor control system is provided for field-oriented control of an electric motor for driving a vehicle. The motor control system includes a current setpoint creator, which is designed to receive a torque setpoint as an input signal and to output a torque-creating current setpoint and at least one field-creating current setpoint as output signals in order to control the electric motor in a field-oriented manner. An exceptional situation detection device detects a present torque setpoint, calculates a change based on the present torque setpoint and an earlier torque setpoint, and detects an exceptional situation if the magnitude of the change exceeds a specified threshold value. The motor control system is designed to adapt the torque-creating current setpoint based on the present torque setpoint when the exceptional situation is detected, thereby bypassing the current setpoint creator.
