  • Patent number: 10184805
    Abstract: There are provided a method for detecting an abnormality of a resolver, an angle detection device, a motor, and a transportation device, by which the abnormality can be detected promptly without the necessity of any complicated operations. There is provided a circuit configured to switch between a sine wave and a direct current voltage to be supplied, as an excitation signal of a resolver (2). Then, immediately after the power is turned on, the direct current voltage is applied to the resolver (2), and the output voltages of the phases of the resolver (2) are measured when the direct current voltage is applied. In this situation, the output voltages of the phases are compared with each other. When none of them matches each other, it is determined that an abnormality (short-circuit abnormality, short-circuiting) occurs at the resolver (2).
