Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007107484A1] Method of determining an opening voltage of an injector (12) having a piezoelectric actuator (28), in particular of an injector (12) of an internal combustion engine, wherein an initial voltage (U<SUB>A</SUB>) is applied to the piezoelectric actuator (28) in the closed state of the injector (12) and the voltage (U) for opening the injector (12) is lowered by energizing the piezoelectric actuator (28). The energizing is interrupted at a holding voltage (U<SUB>H1</SUB>, U<SUB>H2</SUB>, U<SUB>H3</SUB>, U<SUB>Hn</SUB>) and after that the voltage change (?U) applied to the piezoelectric actuator (28) is measured over time, wherein, when voltage rises, it is recognized that the opening voltage (U<SUB>OE</SUB>) is reached.
