Abstract

A control system for an electric motor including an inverter for providing power to the electric motor, a controller for controlling the inverter, a first motor speed control block in the controller injecting a high frequency signal into the electric motor to determine the speed and position of the electric motor, a second motor speed control block in the controller detecting the back electromotive force to determine the speed and position of the electric motor, and a transition control block in said controller to vary operation between the first motor speed control block and the second motor speed control block.
