Abstract

In an improved motor control system for a pulse width modulated synchronous brushless motor, means for adaptively controlling the "torque angle", i.e. the angle between the rotating magnetic field created by the stator windings and the rotor field created by the permanent magnets on the rotor, is provided. The relationship between the two magnetic fields is controlled as a function of load and speed to provide the optimum operating point at all times. Controlling the torque angle effectively varies the back EMF constant K.sub.e (V/RPM), and the torque constant K.sub.+ (torque/ampere) of the motor.
