Abstract

An electric drive system has a motor including a rotor, an inverter, and a controller. The controller perturbs a position of the rotor via a pulse width modulation (PWM) command to the inverter such that the motor receives an Id current that changes during the perturbing and an Iq current, and responsive to the Iq current settling at zero during the perturbing, alters the PWM command to cause the rotor to rotate.
