  • Publication number: 20110043060
    Abstract: An interference suppressor for suppressing high-frequency interference emissions of a direct current motor that is drivable in a plurality of stages and/or directions, comprising a plurality of capacitors located on a first side of a printed circuit board, a plurality of first conductor tracks located on the first side of the printed circuit board for putting the capacitors into contact with a ground terminal, a first terminal and at least one further terminal provided for individual stages of the direct current motor, and put into contact with a first connection line for a first stage and at least one second connection line for at least one second stage of the direct current motor, a ground face located on a second side, diametrically opposite the first side of the printed circuit board, with the first connection line and the at least one second connection line fed through in insulated fashion relative to the ground face wherein the ground face is electrically connected via through-plated holes embodied as v

  • Patent number: 7755232
    Abstract: A DC motor (1), in particular for a blower device of a motor vehicle, having a pole housing (10), a plurality of contact elements (13) effecting the bonding to a collector (12), a pole housing opening (16) making it possible to feed electrical connection lines (18) through into the pole housing (10), and an interference suppressor (28, 28.1) serving to reduce and/or eliminate line-conducted electrical interference signals, in which the interference suppressor (28, 28.1) has at least one leadthrough capacitor (48), which is located in an electrical path of at least one connection line (18). The invention further relates to an electrical interference suppressor (28, 28.1) for an electrical device located in a housing, in particular for a DC motor (1) in a pole housing (10), as well as to the use of a leadthrough capacitor (48, 48.1) for interference suppression in a DC motor (1).

  • Patent number: 7375452
    Abstract: A commutator for an electrical machine, in particular for an electric motor for actuating drives in motor vehicles, has a commutator body that supports commutator laminations. To reduce the electromagnetic radiation, emitted into the environment as interfering radiation, that is engendered by spark development in the commutation operation, the commutator body is embodied as a hollow cylinder, and the commutator laminations are disposed on the inner jacket face of the commutator body.
