This paper introduces a promising technique, called the first-pulse technique, for detecting the rotor position of a brushless DC motor at standstill. The technique is based on the B-H hysteresis characteristics of the stator iron. Depending on the rotor p ...

In order to control the speed and/or position of permanent magnet (PM) motors, they require position sensors. Basically, the auto-commutation needs 3 sensors for a 3-phase motor. In micro-motors, as there is no space for the sensors, self-sensing must be u ...

A sensorless position detection technique for a permanent magnet (PM) motor with non-salient rotor is presented. It is shown that the phase self inductances and resistances measured at higher frequencies vary slightly with the rotor position. The origin of ...
