    摘要: A method operates an inverter by driving respective switching means of the bridge arms using pulse width modulation with a temporally changeable duty cycle such that voltages between the bridge connections have a temporally predefined profile. The respective switching means of the bridge arms are driven with flat-top modulation for particular angular ranges of a respective fundamental oscillation. A respective duty cycle for the respective switching means of the bridge arms is selected such that, during a respective period of the pulse width modulation, at least two shunt resistors always perform their measurement function for a minimum time.

    摘要: A method operates an inverter, wherein the inverter includes a number of bridge arms with respective bridge terminals, wherein a respective bridge arm is electrically connected on a first side to a first intermediate circuit pole of the inverter, and wherein a respective bridge arm is electrically connected on a second side to a second intermediate circuit pole of the inverter. A respective bridge arm has at least two switching elements, wherein a respective bridge terminal, depending upon a circuit state of the switching elements in the bridge arm, is electrically connected either to the first intermediate circuit pole or to the second intermediate circuit pole. A shunt resistor is arranged in a respective bridge arm. The method actuates the respective switching elements of the bridge arms via pulse width modulation with a temporally variable pulse duty factor, such that voltages between the bridge terminals show a temporally defined characteristic. The respective switching elements of the bridge arms are actuated with flat-top modulation for specific angular ranges of a respective fundamental wave, and a respective pulse duty factor for the switching elements of the bridge arms, immediately ahead of and/or immediately after the angular ranges, varies within a predefined time interval in an angularly-independent manner.
