Abstract
A method for controlling an electric motor is described herein. The method comprises setting a current limit, a speed limit and a torque limit. The method also comprises sensing a DC link current, comparing the sensed DC link current with the current limit and adjusting the torque limit based on the comparison with the current limit to provide an adjusted torque limit. The method also comprises sensing the speed of the electric motor, comparing the speed with the speed limit and further adjusting the adjusted torque limit based on the comparison with the speed limit.
