Abstract
A method and an arrangement are provided for controlling a sensorless permanent magnet synchronous machine using a frequency converter connected to feed the machine with electrical power. A current vector having a magnitude is produced to the stator of the machine with the frequency converter, and the current vector is rotated for rotating the rotor of the machine. Prior to starting the drive, a value is defined for the magnitude of the current vector and a frequency limit. The defined value is used as the magnitude of the current vector when the rotor of the machine is rotated with a frequency that is lower than the defined frequency limit. A vector control method is used for controlling the machine when the frequency of the machine is higher than or equal to the defined frequency limit.
