Abstract
In one embodiment of the present invention, a control method for an induction motor includes calculating a desired quadrature-axis voltage and a desired direct-axis voltage according to both current control and voltage control. Below a predetermined motor speed, the motor is controlled in accordance with current control only. Above that predetermined speed, the two desired quadrature-axis voltages are combined in relative proportions, with the influence of voltage control being greater with higher motor speed. The two desired direct-axis voltages are likewise combined. The influence of voltage control thus increases with increasing motor speed. Above a second motor speed threshold, the motor is controlled in accordance with voltage control only.
