Abstract

A process and a circuit (2) for regulating the speed of an electric motor (1) having a high speed (N1) to at least one additional lower speed (N2, N3, N4), whereby, in a first prioritized step, depending on a preselected speed (N1, N2), the regulation of the speed to a lower effective motor voltage (Ueff) has an upper limit, and in a second step, depending on the torque (M) needed for the regulation to this preselected speed (N1, N2), the effective motor voltage (Ueff) is regulated within the limited range.
