Abstract
A method for controlling an operation of a multi-phase electric machine with a stator and a rotor is disclosed. The stator or the rotor includes permanent magnets, whereas the rotor or the stator includes a plurality of conductor bars interconnected by connecting elements of at least one circuit board and disposed within a magnetic field of the permanent magnets and having an internal inductance connected. The connecting elements are arranged outside the magnetic field and have an external inductance. Each phase includes at least one of the conductor bars. The multi-phase electric machine is controlled by regulating for each phase of the multi-phase electric machine at least one electrical quantity, which is dependent on the internal and external inductance of a respective phase, to a desired value.
