Abstract

A method serves for starting a polyphase electric motor which is operated in a star connection. The method conductively bridges at least one winding part of a phase of the motor and electrically disconnects the bridged winding part, in order in this manner, to supply a higher voltage to the remaining, electrically effective windings, and thus to increase the flow of current and thus the torque.
