A method for controlling a polyphase inverter that includes a number of half bridges connected into an intermediate voltage circuit and center taps between switching elements. By cyclically switching the switching elements, the respective center taps of the half bridges are connected to an upper intermediate circuit rail or to a lower intermediate circuit rail of the intermediate voltage circuit according to the principle of pulse width modulation. The switching elements of at least one half bridge are driven in a modified manner, at least in some time intervals, in that the switching pulses of at least two consecutive periods of the pulse width modulation are concatenated directly in time as one switching pulse. In this way, the switching frequencies of the correspondingly driven switching elements and thus the switching losses of the latter can be further reduced. |
