Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to an apparatus having an electric motor with a stator, an armature, especially a rotor, and at least one coil, wherein the apparatus further comprises detection means configured to determine the inductance L of the coil by measuring at least one electrical quantity related to the coil during operation of the motor. The invention further relates to a method for operating such an apparatus, wherein the detection means of the apparatus determine the inductance L of the coil and/or the position of the armature as a function of the inductance L of the coil by measuring at least one electrical quantity related to the coil during operation of the motor.
