Abstract

The method serves the commutation of an electrically commutated brushless, polyphase permanent magnet motor. The commutation angle, i.e. the angle from the zero crossing of the BEMF signal up to the reapplication of the voltage to the same winding is determined by the angle which results when the winding phase current has reached zero until the zero crossing of the BEMF signal.
