Abstract

The invention relates to a method (400) for calibrating a controller of an electric machine (120). The method comprises the following steps: specifying (410) a first signal (S_1) for generating a sinusoidal phase current for energising a winding of an electric machine (120); superposing (420) the first signal (S_1) with a test signal (S_Test_i) in order to generate a harmonic oscillation with a predetermined excitation amplitude and/or phase position relative to the phase current, which harmonic oscillation superposes the phase current; detecting (430) a response signal (S_Antw_i), resulting from the superposition of the phase current and the harmonic oscillation, by means of a sensor (130); determining (450) a calibrated signal (S_kal) for generating a harmonic oscillation with a predetermined excitation amplitude and a phase position relative to the phase current on the basis of a determined minimum of a response plane (A_Antw); operating (460) the controller (110) of the electric machine (120) on the basis of the determined minimum.
