    摘要: A system and method for controlling an electric machine via an inverter comprises an speed estimator that is configured to estimate a rotor speed of an electric motor to determine whether to control the inverter to operate the electric motor in a first mode or a second mode. For example, the first mode comprises a current-frequency control mode and the second mode comprises a back electromagnetic force (BEMF) mode. An electronic data processor or controller is configured to determine a first (current) command associated with a first mode of operating the electric motor, if the estimated rotor speed is a less than a speed threshold. The electronic data processor or controller is configured to determine a second (current) command associated with a second mode of operating the electric motor if the estimated rotor speed is equal to or greater than the speed threshold.

    摘要: A method for initial position detection of an electric motor includes determining a delta voltage for each of three pairs of stator windings by sequentially energizing and deenergizing each pair. The delta voltage is measured through a non-energized stator winding connected to a center tap of each respective pair. A minimum delta voltage is determined from an absolute value of a minimum of the three delta voltages. The minimum delta voltage is associated with a remaining stator winding not included in the respective pair. The two delta voltages not associated with the minimum delta voltage are compared to determine the proximity of the remaining stator winding to one of a D-axis of a rotor of the electric motor and a Q-axis of the rotor.
