  • Publication number: 20240063738
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a motor control device including a current detection element connected to a DC side of the inverter circuit to generate a signal corresponding to a current value and configured to determine a rotor position based on at least a phase current of the motor and to generate a two-phase or three-phase PWM signal pattern to follow the rotor position. The PWM signal generation unit generates a phase-shifted PWM signal pattern with three phases such that the current detection unit is capable of detecting two-phase currents at two fixed time-points within a carrier wave cycle of the PWM signal. The motor control device is configured to estimate a rotating magnetic field angle and a speed of the motor based on the estimated magnetic flux interlinkage of an armature coil of the motor and to output a switching command so as to cause the PWM signal generation unit to generate different PWM signal according to a level of a modulation rate of a motor applied voltage.
