The invention discloses an overmodulation control method for a motor, and relates to a motor modulation technology. The overmodulation control method comprises the following steps of: collecting errorsignals and current feedback signals of a motor feedback rotation speed and a given rotation speed, performing conversion from coordinates of a two-phase rotating coordinate system to coordinates ofa two-phase static coordinate system to obtain command voltage signals U[alpha]* and U[beta]* of the motor, performing SVPWM (Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation) to obtain a binary function F([theta]h, [theta]r) of an angle pair ([theta]h, [theta]r) to obtain a modulation ratio MI and calculate the modulation ratio MI, wherein the modulation ratio MI is in one-to-one correspondence with the anglepair ([theta]h, [theta]r); according to the value of the modulation ratio MI, obtaining a value of the angle pair ([theta]h, [theta]r); and according to the value of the angle pair ([theta]h, [theta]r), calculating a voltage vector required by the motor and a corresponding duty cycle to obtain six-path drive signals of an inverter. The overmodulation control method for a motor only needs to obtain value information of the angle pair ([theta]h, [theta]r) to determine the size of a fundamental wave to be output so as to achieve overmodulation, and therefore, the principle is simple, and the operation is convenient.
