Abstract

Method for providing current regulation and a current controller (10) for an electric machine (30) are provided. The method includes receiving a state vector time signal (36) indicative of a time interval when a switching state vector is activated and comparing the received state vector time signal to a commanded state vector time signal (38). The method further includes using the result of the comparison to regulate a direct axis current signal (42, 44) input to an electric machine controller. The current controller (10) includes a state vector error comparator for comparing a received state vector time signal to a commanded state vector time signal and generating a state vector time error. This error is processed by a PI controller, coupled to the state vector error comparator, for providing a direct axis current signal output responsive to the state vector time error to an electric machine.
