1IntroductionThe vector control, also known as the field-oriented control(FOC), of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) isthe algorithm often used in today’s advanced motor controldrives
Such advanced motor control algorithms require thesetting of motor electrical parameters for its properfunctionality
This application note deals with themeasurement of electrical parameters needed for vectorcontrol of PMSM
The electrical parameters are needed to setthe current PI controller gains to get the desired closed-loopperformance and for BEMF observer constants
The proposedmeasurement techniques determine a number of pole pairs, astator resistance, synchronous inductances, and an electricalconstant with common measurement equipment
