Abstract
A method of detecting an angular position of a rotor of an electrical machine includes determining a rotor position for the electrical machine using data obtained from a first data source, determining a rotor position for the electrical machine using data obtained from a second data source, and switching between determining a rotor position using data obtained from the first data source and using data obtained from the second data source. A point at which switching occurs is different when a speed of rotation is increasing than when the speed of rotation is decreasing.
