Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling an inverter () using space-vector pulse width modulation, in particular to control an electric machine (), the inverter () being equipped with a plurality of controllable switches (S) and being designed to provide a polyphase electric current (IU, IV, IW), in particular to supply polyphase electric current (IU, IV, IW) to the electric machine (). In said method, a desired current space vector (I*) having a desired phase angle (alpha) and a desired amplitude (I) is predefined, and the inverter () is controlled in such a way that a plurality of different successive switching states (V-V) is established for the switches (S) in order to provide the electric current (IU, IV, IW) in the form of a current space vector (I*), the inverter () being controlled in such a way that the current space vector (I*) is provided at a phase angle (alpha) which differs from the desired phase angle (alpha) in order to load the switches (S) according to a desired load value (m) for the switches (S).
