Abstract

A motor assembly for a switch drive of an electric switch. The motor assembly has a brushless three-phase motor and an electronic control device for controlling the three-phase motor. The control device has a rectifier unit for rectifying a supply voltage of the motor assembly if the supply voltage is an AC voltage, and for reverse polarity protection if the supply voltage is a DC voltage. The control device also has a voltage measuring unit for detecting a rectifier output voltage of the rectifier unit, a switch unit for generating a pulse width-modulated drive AC voltage for the three-phase motor from the rectifier output voltage, and a control unit for actuating the switch unit according to the rectifier output voltage.
