    摘要: A drive system for a brushless DC motor having a rotor includes at least one permanent magnet and a stator including at least one phase winding. The system has a drive circuit including a switch associated with the winding for varying the current passing through the winding; a rotor position sensor arranged to sense the position of the rotor; and a controller arranged to provide drive signals to control the switch. The drive system is further arranged to receive a temperature signal that has a value dependent upon the temperature of the at least one magnet of the rotor. The controller is arranged to vary the phase of the current passing through the winding relative to the rotor position dependent upon the temperature of the rotor magnet.

    摘要: Parameters relating to rotation of a motor (2) measured every constant time are acquired and the moving average of each constant interval of the parameters is calculated. The calculated moving averages are input to a training model trained so as to output a temperature of magnets attached to a rotor (7) of the motor (2) when the moving averages of the parameters relating to rotation of the motor (2) are input, and an estimated value of the magnet temperature output from the model is acquired. Next, the acquired estimated value of the magnet temperature is output.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and device for operating an electric machine (10) for outputting a predefined torque and a predefined rotational speed, comprising the following steps: providing (420) a first and a second operating mode for the operation of the electric machine (10); detecting (430) a temperature of the electric machine (10); and operating the electric machine (10) in the first operating mode (440) if the detected temperature falls below a threshold value, and operating the electric machine (10) in the second operating mode (450) if the detected temperature corresponds with the threshold value or exceeds same. During the operation of the electric machine (10) in the second operating mode (450), with the resulting output of the predefined torque and the predefined rotational speed, the magnetic stator flux of the electric machine (10) is reduced compared with the magnetic stator flux of the electric machine (10) during the operation of the electric machine (10) in the first operating mode (440), with the resulting output of the predefined torque and the predefined rotational speed.
