Abstract
A compressor system for generating compressed air for a compressed air supply system in a vehicle. The compressor system includes a brushed direct current electric motor (BDC electric motor); a compressor configured to be driven by the BDC electric motor; and a control unit for controlling the BDC electric motor and allocated to the BDC electric motor so as to delimit an operating current of the electric motor. A free-running current path is allocated to the control unit, the free-running current path being configured to delimit the operating current of the electric motor in a variable manner. A switch controller is allocated to the control unit, the switch controller being configured to specify a switched-on time period (t_ON) and/or a switched-off time period (t_OFF) for the electric motor in a variable manner.
