Abstract

In a method for monitoring a winding temperature of a winding of an electric machine powered by a converter, a heating power applied to the winding of the electric machine is determined and evaluated using a thermal model. A relative increase in a resistance of the winding, when the winding heats up, is determined from the heating power in comparison with a standard reference value for 20° C. winding temperature. The winding temperature is calculated from the relative increase in the resistance, and a warning signal and/or a switch-off signal is generated when a critical winding temperature value is exceeded.
