    Abstract: An electric machine control system adapted to a motor includes a voltage detector, a power module, a current detector and a controller. The voltage detector detects a bus voltage to generate a voltage detection signal. The power module generates a first phase current, a second phase current and a third phase current to drive the motor according to the bus voltage and a PWM signal. To generate the current detection signal, the current detector detects at least two of the following: the first phase current, the second phase current and the third phase current. When the motor is operating in a steady state and blocked, the controller calculates the DC offset error of the motor according to the voltage detection signal and the current detection signal.
