Abstract

A method and/or apparatus used with a motor controller for finding RMS current and RMS terminal voltage in a three phase AC induction motor using electrical values known to the controller. An equation relates average current to RMS current as a function of the duration of a known non-conducting period. Another equation relates known voltages to RMS terminal voltage as a function of a known phase angle and the known duration of the non-conducting period in a supply line.
