Abstract
An electric motor drive system is provided. It includes a rotor having permanent magnets arranged therein and a stator surrounding the rotor an inverter having switches arranged therein, the switches operable to draw current from a direct current bus and operate the electric machine through windings of the stator and a controller operable to receive a source current limit, IS, and a source voltage limit, VDC, both associated with the direct current bus is also provided. The invertor is responding to a torque demand to operate the switches of the inverter to generate an alternating current corresponding to the torque demand and according to a torque limit defined by a source current torque limit corresponding to the source current limit when the source current torque limit is less than or equal to a source voltage torque limit corresponding to the source voltage limit.
