    摘要: A power supply circuit in an inverter for driving an electrical machine includes a high-voltage branch with a high-voltage level, a low-voltage branch with a low-voltage level and a discharge branch with a discharge voltage level, wherein the high-voltage level is higher than the low-voltage level and the discharge voltage level. The high-voltage branch can be connected to the low-voltage branch via an operating DC/DC converter, and to the discharge branch via a discharge DC/DC converter. The discharge branch is different from the low-voltage branch. A low-voltage energy storage device is connected in the discharge branch. A method for using the power supply circuit includes, in a first operating mode, conducting current from the high-voltage branch via the operating DC/DC converter into the low-voltage branch, and in a second operating mode, conducting current from the high-voltage branch via the discharge DC/DC converter into the discharging branch.

    摘要: A method for ascertaining phase currents of an electric machine including a converter and stator including stator windings (phase number of at least three), in which the phase currents of measuring phases (at least two), are measured, the phase currents being measured in a measuring interval when the active switching elements of the measuring phases in a lowside path of the converter are activated in a switching interval delimited by a switching-on point-in-time and switching-off point-in-time, the phase currents of the remaining phases being determined arithmetically from the measured phase currents so that the measured phase currents, a spatial angle of the measuring phases, and a spatial angle of the remaining phases are used for arithmetic determination, in which the measuring interval is selected to be with respect to time outside a switching-on point-in-time or switching-off point-in-time of at least one of the active switching elements of the stator phases.
