    摘要: A circuit, comprising a plurality of phase windings in an electric motor, an inverter configured to excite the phase windings by a sequence of voltage pulses including a plurality of successive voltage pulses that a current can be set in each of the phase windings, wherein the voltage pulses are selected in such a manner that a positive and a negative current are produced in all the phase windings during the voltage pulses, a current sensor for measuring a peak value for the current being set during a duration of each voltage pulse in each phase winding, and an evaluation circuit connected to the current sensor, wherein the evaluation circuit is configured to determine the voltage pulse in the voltage pulse sequence during a duration of which peak current value having a greatest magnitude was measured.
