Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011092011A2] An electric motor has a permanent magnet rotor (46) and a device for producing a three-phase sinusoidal current (i202, i204, 1206) for supplying power to said motor (40), furthermore a microprocessor (95) for carrying out the following steps: while the motor (40) is running with a load which deviates little or not at all from a predefined value, the motor is operated first at a predefined operating voltage (U), and an amplitude of a current flowing to the motor is measured and stored (S106, S108). Subsequently, the amplitude of the voltage supplied to the motor is reduced (S110). Thereupon, an amplitude of the current flow into the motor (40) is measured again and said amplitude is compared (S116) to the amplitude previously stored. If it is established that the current flow to the motor has not decreased as a result of the reduction in the amplitude of the voltage, the motor (40) is operated at said current. If, however, it is established that the current flowing to the motor has decreased as a result of the reduction in the voltage supplied to the motor (40), the measurements and the comparison are repeated, optionally many times, in order to obtain values for an optimized efficiency.
