Solution Overview

Problem

The installation errors of Hall sensors in permanent magnet synchronous motors lead to inefficiencies and high labor costs due to the need for manual compensation, affecting motor control precision and causing issues like decreased efficiency or start failures.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that detect the current angle, back electromotive force, and phase current of the motor, using relational models to determine torque coefficients and compensation angles, which are then used to adjust power supply through field-oriented control, reducing active power and phase current requirements without the need for manual re-adjustment of Hall sensors.
