  • Method and system for controlling an electric motor and detecting a stall condition
    Patent number: 11233477
    Abstract: A method for detecting a stall condition of an electric motor. The method can include initiating an open-loop phase. During the open-loop phase, the method can include increasing a rotational speed of an electric motor and obtaining data indicative of a voltage associated with the electric motor while increasing the rotational speed of the electric motor. During the open-loop phase, the method can also include determining a difference between the voltage and a time varying target voltage and detecting a stall condition based at least in part on the difference between the voltage and the time varying target voltage. When a closed-loop condition is satisfied, the method can include initiating a closed-loop phase.
