Abstract
A rail vehicle compressor system and method for controlling the same uses a compressor driven by an electrical machine via a drive shaft to produce compressed air for at least one compressed air tank, wherein the electrical machine can be activated at least indirectly via a control device for operating the electrical machine at at least one speed between a maximum speed and a minimum speed, wherein at least one pressure sensor determines the pressure for the control device and a final control element continuously influences the speed of the electrical machine, wherein activation of the final control element takes place via the control device in accordance with a sensor device, comprising at least one sensor element for sensing at least one external boundary condition of the rail vehicle.
