Abstract

Method for operating a power converter for a permanently excited electric machine, wherein temperature information, which describes a temperature of at least one permanent magnet of the electric machine, is determined by means of an observer as a function of operating parameters of the electric machine, and the power converter is controlled as a function of the temperature information, wherein a computing device, which handles processes in time slices, carries out a first process in a first time slice for detecting parameter values for determining the operating parameters and carries out a second process, which determines the temperature information, in a second time slice, which is retrieved less frequently than the first time slice.
