Abstract :
The advantages of operating a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) without a position sensor are many and are well known. In this paper the self sensing performance of two off the shelf industrial PMSMs and an aerospace PMSM will be compared for their sensorless control properties. The properties of the main modulating tracking saliency will be investigated as a function of load. The machines will then be tested on a sensorless control rig to validate the modeling results.
