Abstract

Apparatus for controlling a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor supplied by a forced commutated inverter that does not use a mechanical shaft position sensor. A control loop regulates an inverter frequency and maintains inverter synchronism with the motor using electrical angle feedback signals developed from measured flux signals that have been phase shifted.
