  • Controlling magnetic flux in an automotive electric machine
    Patent number: 9673742
    Abstract: A method of compensating for magnetic flux resulting from variance from a first electric machine to a second electric machine. A magnetic flux change for the first machine is calculated as a function of a flux difference between the first machine and the second machine. Operation of the first machine is controlled using the magnetic flux change.
    Type: Grant
