Abstract
A system for determining electrical characteristics of an electric load can comprise a signal modulation circuit that can include a first integral controller configured to control AC reference voltage based on a requested maximum AC current and an estimated maximum AC current, a second integral controller configured to control DC reference voltage based on a requested DC current and an estimated DC current, a signal demodulation circuit including an AC current estimation circuit configured to generate the estimated maximum AC current for the signal modulation circuit, a DC current estimation circuit configured to generate the estimated DC current for the signal modulation circuit, and a resistance and inductance (RL) estimation circuit configured to determine inductance of the electric load based on the estimated maximum AC current and phase shift, wherein the estimated maximum AC current is a value lower than a DC offset current value.
