Abstract
The invention is based on a method for detecting slip in the driving of generator or starter-generator systems. The alternators of these systems are equipped with electronic control components such as pulse-width-modulated inverters or rectifier bridges. The drive torque of the alternator is transferred to this by means of a belt drive of an internal combustion engine. When slip is detected in a comparison step (), to which speed-dependent input variables () are forwarded, the maximum transferrable drive torque is determined in a torque limiting step (), and a closed-loop control () adjusts the generator output power to said maximum transferrable drive torque.
