Abstract

See full text

A vacuum pump drive comprising at least one electric motor which is connected to the rotor of a vacuum pump via a drive shaft, a frequency converter which is electrically connected to the motor and which supplies a motor input voltage to the motor, and a switchover device with at least one electric switch. The switchover device is designed to connect the motor windings in a star or delta shape depending on the switching position of the switch in order to change the motor characteristic curve. The vacuum pump drive also comprises a measuring device with sensors for detecting physical operating variables of the vacuum pump and a controller which is electrically or optically connected to the switchover device and the measuring device and which is designed to actuate the at least one switch on the basis of the measured value of the operating variable of the vacuum pump in order to produce the star-delta switchover.
