Abstract
A method for determining an angular position of a rotor of a synchronous motor, having a stator winding fed by a three-phase voltage set by an inverter, includes: supplying a control signal to the inverter to set the three-phase voltage fed to the motor as a stator voltage to control a motor current, acquired by a current-acquisition device, to a setpoint stator current; determining a stator flux from a time characteristic of the stator voltage and an acquired value of the stator current; and determining the angular position of the rotor from the stator flux and a flux-value dependence as a function of the stator current.
