Abstract

The arrangement or apparatus for operating a magnetically suspended, electromotoric drive apparatus in the event of a mains disturbance comprises a drive converter feeding the drive apparatus, a driver feeding a magnetic bearing and a voltage converter, which are connected to a common intermediate circuit. The voltage converter feeds a stopping control apparatus and the drive converter can be switched to a regeneratively acting mode of operation by the stopping control apparatus in the event of a mains disturbance in order to provide at least the driver feeding the magnetic bearing and the stopping control apparatus with electrical energy via the intermediate circuit.
