| 1. A method for determining a rotary speed of an electrical machine, which is controlled in PWM operation, the method comprising:
ascertaining the rotary speed from a tracking voltage, which is measured in a turnoff phase;
estimating the rotary speed in the PWM phase with the aid of a mathematical model, wherein the rotary speed is ascertained
in the PWM phase with the aid of a recursive function
ωi=ωi−1+Δω, where Δω=f(Uk,ωi−1);
and
controlling the electrical machine using a control signal, which has a PWM phase in which the electrical machine is periodically
switched on and off using a prespecified pulse duty factor, and which has a measuring phase in which the electrical machine
is switched off and the tracking voltage is measured.
