A control system for controlling power supply of an electric machine of an automobile and which contributes to movement thereof, wherein the control system is connected, at an input thereof, to a mechanism estimating a temperature of a rotor of the electric machine and to a temperature sensor measuring a temperature of a stator of the electric machine. The control system includes mappings of a set of values for allocating supply currents of the electric machine on the basis of torque and rotational speed request values received at the input of the control system, and includes a switching mechanism for selecting the mapping, the supply current signals of which are transmitted to the electric machine, on the basis of the signals from the mechanism estimating the temperature of the rotor and from the stator-temperature sensor.

System and method for controlling the power supply of an electric machine on the basis of the temperature thereof

An electric machine combined with an electronic control unit including a set of onboard maps of a same setpoint parameter on the basis of first and second operating variables of the machine, each of the maps being associated with a different level of a third operating parameter of the electric machine. The maps include ranges of authorized values, and at least one range of extrapolated values. The electronic control unit is configured, for values of the third parameter not associated with one of the onboard maps, to use interpolated values between two authorized values, or between one authorized value and one extrapolated value.
