Abstract

A method operates an inverter by driving respective switching means of the bridge arms using pulse width modulation with a temporally changeable duty cycle such that voltages between the bridge connections have a temporally predefined profile. The respective switching means of the bridge arms are driven with flat-top modulation for particular angular ranges of a respective fundamental oscillation. A respective duty cycle for the respective switching means of the bridge arms is selected such that, during a respective period of the pulse width modulation, at least two shunt resistors always perform their measurement function for a minimum time.
