Abstract
An electrical drive system includes an electrical machine controlled by an electronic controller and requires control signals representing quantities associated with the operation of the electrical machine. These signals may represent, for example, rotor position and flux or current. A controller includes an estimation routine to use the known magnetic characteristics of the machine and a rotor position signal to provide an estimate of current or of supply voltage.
