Abstract

A rotor position determination system for a polyphase D.C. brushless motor utilizing the back electromotive force (B.E.M.F.) voltage of the open or "off" phase of the motor as a critical signal for controlling the commutation of the motor, the system further including means for phase advance of the energization of the motor.
