The invention relates to a method for determining an error voltage of a current converter to which a load, in particular in the form of a three-phase machine such as an asynchronous machine, is connected, is determined and if necessary compensated, wherein an output voltage on the current converter is increased stage-by-stage or step-by-step and which is measured here as a current adjusting a step response. The invention further relates to a three-phase machine, for example in the form of an asynchronous machine having power electronics comprising a current converter and in the form of a compensation device for compensating the error voltage of the current converter. The invention further relates to a method for operating and/or controlling such a three-phase machine, in which the error voltage of the current converter is determined and compensated. According to the invention, the error voltage is determined from the current measured as a step response and from a resistance of the load, wherein said resistance is determined from a target voltage jump and from a simultaneously measured actual current jump in a relatively high current range of at least 30% of at least 50% of the rated current of the end stage of the current converter.
