Abstract
A method for operating a brushless and sensorless multi-phase electric motor. At least two phase voltages and at least two phase currents of the electric motor are determined. A voltage vector is determined from the phase voltages and/or a current vector is determined from the phase currents. A position substitute signal is determined as a measure of a rotor position on the basis of an angle of the current vector and/or of the voltage vector. A rotation value is calculated on the basis of the position substitute signals, and the electric motor is controlled by open-loop and/or closed-loop technology on a basis of the rotation value.
