Abstract

A new and very simple detecting method of initial rotor position for inverter-driven permanent magnet synchronous motors without any position sensors is proposed. The intended method is based on the large-and-small relationship between the maximum line-to-line emfs (electromotive forces) induced in the armature windings when two windings are excited by the DC voltage source for the inverter. According to this method, initial rotor position can be detected every 30 electrical degrees, which is enough accuracy to start up the motor without temporary reverse rotation. It is shown that the tested motor started successfully with the proposed method
