Abstract

An actuating apparatus for a polyphase motor includes five phase terminals for connecting of in each case one phase of the polyphase motor, a high terminal for applying a supply voltage (UB), a low terminal for applying a reference potential of the supply voltage (UB), a control device, wherein the control device is adapted, in four of the five phase terminals, to impress a pulse-width-modulated voltage pattern by connecting the phase terminals to the high terminal or the low terminal so that in the first phase terminal, an evaluation signal which is dependent on the angle of rotation of the polyphase motor is produced, and wherein the control device is adapted to determine the angle of rotation and/or a commutation condition of the polyphase motor from the evaluation signal.
