Abstract

See full text

In a method and control system for controlling a brushless, electronically commutated electric motor (M), a three-phase source AC voltage (UN) is rectified and fed to a DC link voltage (UZK), which is supplied to an inverter (2) via a slim DC link circuit (6). A motor control unit (10) for PWM pulsing controls the inverter for commutating the electric motor (M) and adjusting the motor speed with a variable duty cycle (A). The duty cycle (A) is influenced by a compensating factor (k) such that the product of the DC link voltage (UZK) and a resulting DC link current (IZK) is kept constant in the link circuit (6). The DC link voltage (UZK) is monitored. When a first threshold value (UZKac.max1) of an AC component (UZKac) is exceeded, the compensating factor (k) is modified to lower the current AC component (UZKac) below the threshold value (UZKac.max1).
