METHOD FOR CALCULATING MOTOR CONSTANT OF PERMANENT MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS ELECTRIC MOTOR AND MOTOR CONSTANT COMPUTATION DEVICE

摘要

A method for calculating a motor constant of a permanent magnet type synchronous motor according to the present invention includes: a voltage applying step of applying a voltage obtained by compositing a DC component and an AC component to a permanent magnet type synchronous motor while varying a frequency of the AC component; a current detecting step of detecting a motor current flowing according to the applied voltage; a phase difference calculating step of calculating a difference in phase between the AC component of the applied voltage and an AC component of the motor current; and a motor constant calculating step of calculating a motor constant of the permanent magnet type synchronous motor. In addition, in the motor constant calculating step, the motor constant is calculated based on the applied voltage and the motor current when the difference in phase becomes nearly 45 degrees.
