Abstract

The method comprises measuring the voltage induced during the driving pulse in the coil by rotation of the rotor, and interrupting the drive pulse in dependence on the measurement made. The device for carrying out this method comprises a circuit for measuring the induced voltage, a circuit for comparison with a reference value and a circuit for calculating the duration of the drive pulse.
