In particular, acoustic needles or peaks at a specific frequency can be reduced or even avoided.
  • the design of the internal inverter arrangement 36 also makes it possible for the electric drive device 10 to be very compact. However, during the intended ferry operation of the underwater boat 12, this can mean that a defective inverter module 48, 50 or a corresponding defective inverter 40, 42, 44, 46 can only be replaced with great effort. This is particularly difficult at sea because the electric drive device 10 should be completely switched off for the duration of the change or maintenance, as a result of which the watercraft 12 would then have no drive.
  • the invention makes it possible to continue driving until the next stop despite the fact that the inverter 40, 42, 44, 46 cannot be activated. However, this can degrade the acoustic properties of the drive device 10 itself. This is due to the fact that, on the one hand, the respective phase winding 32, 34, which is connected to the defective inverter 40, 42, 44, 46, can no longer be supplied with electrical current. This can lead to double and quadruple the electrical frequency of the electrical drive device 10 increasing. On the other hand, if an inverter fails in relation to the aforementioned th second aspect of the series connection in the individual circuit or the individual operation of the winding strands are switched back. However, this has the disadvantage that all inverters 40, 42, 44, 46 have to be operated at the same clock frequency, which leads to acoustically significant noise emissions, especially with regard to one or more specific frequencies, which otherwise do not occur in this speed range would.
  • the torque essentially depends on the square of the speed. This makes it possible to activate only part of the electrical drive device 10 in a lower part of the performance range of the drive device 10 .
  • the ferry operation can be continued with that part of the electric drive device 10 that does not include the defective inverter or the defective inverter module. As a result, acoustic deterioration can be largely avoided, but at least reduced. This is possible, for example, for a speed range from about 0% to about 35...40% of a nominal speed.
  • the two partial drive units are driven up to a maximum possible speed with the series connection activated, i.e. up to a speed of around 50...60% of the nominal speed.
  • the other inverters are operated as in the normal state. As a result, a deterioration in the acoustic signature can be reduced, if not avoided completely.
  • the corresponding inverter or the corresponding inverter module which is connected to winding strands that are in the same slots as the winding strands of the non-activatable inverter are arranged, with the maximum available electrical see electricity operated. In this way, an increase in the acoustic signature in the lower speed range can be almost completely compensated for and only result in an acoustic deterioration in the upper second range.
