A handheld power tool including at least one drive unit, includes at least one oscillating excitation actuator for the oscillating drive of an associated insertion tool and includes an electronics unit for the controlled energy supply of the drive unit, the electronics unit including at least one inverter, one transformer, and one measuring circuit, the inverter being configured to generate a primary-side transformer voltage and a primary-side transformer current of the transformer, the transformer being configured to transform the primary-side transformer voltage and the primary-side transformer current into an application-specific supply voltage and a supply current for the drive unit, and a controller being associated with the measuring circuit, which is configured to generate at least one control signal for the inverter from a predefined setpoint value and a measured value detected by the measuring circuit, the measuring circuit is situated between the inverter and the transformer.

Handheld power tool including an oscillating excitation actuator

The invention is a pulse-controlled inverter with one or more semiconductor switches and freewheeling diodes arranged in parallel to each semiconductor switch. The semiconductor switches are triggered only when the current does not flow through a freewheeling diode that is arranged in parallel to the semiconductor switch. This allows the number of triggering processes for the semiconductor switch to be reduced. The reduced number of triggering processes for the semiconductor switches results in lower power losses and an increased service life of the entire system.

A method for discharging a high-voltage system in a vehicle, the high-voltage system having at least one energy store and a plurality of high-voltage consumers. To discharge the high-voltage system, the electrical energy store is first separated from the rest of the vehicle electrical system, and at least one of the high-voltage consumers is switched on, so that the charge stored within the system drains via the consumers.

A method for shutting down an electric machine having a pulse-controlled inverter in the event of a malfunction. Undesirable side effects during shut-down of the electric machine may be minimized and the regular machine operation may be maximized when the electric machine is first switched to a disconnect mode in which all switches of the pulse-controlled inverter are open and subsequently is switched to a short-circuit mode in which the switches connected to the high potential are open and the switches connected to the low potential are closed.

A control circuit for controlling an electronic circuit, which has a current path through a semiconductor switch and a line; when the semiconductor switch is switched, the inductance of the line and/or of a component in the current path producing an excess voltage between a first and a second current-carrying terminal of the semiconductor switch; the control circuit having a controllable current source for charging or discharging a charge-controlled gate of the semiconductor switch with the aid of a control current, as well as a control unit; the control unit controlling the current source in such a manner, that in the case of a switching operation, the terminal voltage across the current-carrying terminals of the semiconductor switch does not exceed a predefined setpoint terminal voltage.

A method and a device for providing field-oriented regulation of a synchronous machine excited by a permanent magnet, in which a direct-axis voltage component and a quadrature-axis voltage component of the control voltage for the synchronous machine are determined from a quadrature-axis current component setpoint value thus determined and from rotational speed information using a stationary machine model in a decoupling network. These voltage components are converted into triggering pulses for the synchronous machine. The regulating system does not require any information regarding the phase currents of the polyphase system.

An inverter for an electric machine is specified that includes a plurality of switching elements, in particular six, which are positioned in a bridge circuit and produce a connection between the electric machine and a battery. The switching elements built into the low-side branch of the inverter are ones that are conductive without a control voltage present, i.e., normally-on switching elements. That ensures that if the supply voltage is absent and the electric machine is rotating the windings of the electric machine are short circuited and no overvoltages are able to occur. In normal operation the inverter is operated like a conventional inverter, by clocked actuation, but with reversed actuation of the control electrodes, i.e., with control voltage for non-conductive time phases and without control voltage in conductive phases.
