Abstract :
A novel method is presented for the indirect identification of the rotor position of a synchronous motor, when fed from a 6-pulse inverter. The method applies to motors with sinusoidal field distribution. Using this method, a DC-like drive can be built around the motor without the use of a position sensor.
