Abstract: In the synchronous motor controlling apparatus and method of the invention, a current is detected and subjected to coordinate transformation onto &ggr;-&dgr; axis assumed for the rotor. A correction term is obtained on the basis of the derived current and an arbitrarily given correction current instruction. A &ggr;-&dgr; axis voltage instruction is computed by adding a value obtained by multiplying the correction term by a proper gain to a voltage equation in a steady state of the synchronous motor. Consequently, a control method of small computational load, which does not require gain adjustment according to the inertia of a motor load, can be attained.

An arithmetic section outputs six kinds of voltage vectors having equal amplitudes and equal-interval phases to a circuit section as a voltage vector command. The circuit section makes the voltage vectors to be applied to a synchronous motor, outputs a trigger signal to a detection section each time after finishing the application of each voltage vector, and makes a detection current of each phase to be detected. Thereafter, the arithmetic section calculates and outputs magnetic-pole positions at every 60/(2{circumflex over ()}k) degrees (where k is a natural number) based on the detection current. Each voltage vector is applied for a time period sufficient enough for each phase winding to be magnetically saturated in the order that the phases of each voltage vector either increase monotonously or decrease monotonously.
