  • Patent number: 9484851
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique of correcting a resolver offset by measuring and correcting an offset of a resolver assembled to a motor of an eco-friendly vehicle in an accurate and simple way. The offset measurement process includes, after completing the assembly of a resolver a resolver to a motor, rotating the motor by using a rotation device able to transfer a rotation force to the motor, setting a voltage instruction and current-controlling the motor according to the voltage instruction, and obtaining a d-axis current and a q-axis current, which are feedback currents, during the current-control of the motor. Then when the system is in a steady state, a resolver offset ({tilde over (?)}) is calculated from the d-axis current and the q-axis current by using {tilde over (?)}=tan?1(d-axis current/q-axis current).
