Abstract
A sensing technique that monitors rotor-position indirectly by monitoring the phase current waveform is evaluated. Computer simulations showing the effects of back-EMF on phase current rise and fall-times are presented. A control circuit for current-waveform-based rotor-position detection has been implemented using hard-wired digital circuits. Torque-speed and system efficiency characteristics resulting from the application of the method to a 4 kW, four-phase SR motor with IGBT drive are also presented
