Abstract

An initial position estimating apparatus for estimating an initial position of a rotor of a motor includes: a signal processor for outputting an angular error component from a change amount of a q-axis current in an estimated rotor reference frame; a position estimator for estimating an electrical position of the rotor from the angular error component; a magnetic pole determination portion for outputting magnetic pole determination information according to a sign of a magnetic pole determination signal determined based on a change amount of a d-axis current in the estimated rotor reference frame and based on a d-axis voltage; and a first addition portion for outputting an initial position of the rotor by adding the magnetic pole determination information to the electrical position.
