Abstract
A three-level or multi-level inverter circuit for activation of a multiphase electric machine for an electric drive system, with two supply connections couplable to first and second supply potential of voltage supplies, a load output comprising a load output connection for each phase of the electric machine, a controllable three-level or multi-level inverter between the supply connections and the load output designed to convert a direct voltage received on the supply side into an alternating voltage for driving an electric machine, with an operating mode setting device designed to change the inverter between three-level or multi-level operation and two-level operation in dependence upon overall efficiency of the electric drive system, wherein the overall efficiency is a function of the detected phase current of the electric machine and at least one further parameter and/or property of the electric machine which influence the overall efficiency.
