VERFAHREN ZUM SICHEREN BETRIEB EINES UMRICHTERS FÜR ROTIERENDE ELEKTRISCHE MASCHINEN

摘要

The invention relates to an intrinsically safe converter (4) or a converter (4) comprising a safety unit (7), and to a method for the safe operation of a converter (4) for rotating electrical machines (6), the converter (4) being arranged between an energy accumulator device (5) and a rotating electrical machine (6). Said method comprises the following steps: a) a nominal moment for the rotating electrical machine (6) is transmitted to the converter (4); b) the actual moment acting on the shaft of the rotating electrical machine (6) is determined; c) the actual moment is compared with the nominal moment; d) a safe state is activated when the deviation between the actual moment and the nominal moment is outside a set tolerance range, or e) the method continues to step a) when the values for the actual moment and the nominal moment are within a set tolerance range.
