Abstract
A method for determining a phase angle between voltage applied to a winding of the electric motor and an electric current flowing through the winding may include receiving a signal from the electric motor, including a value of a voltage applied to a winding of the electric motor. The method may also include determining a value of an electric current flowing through the winding and determining a phase angle between the voltage applied to the winding and the electric current flowing through the winding. The method may also include determining a speed or a stall state of the electric motor.
