A recent study, led by Runze Jing, summarized field weakening (FW) control strategies into calculation-based methods, voltage closed-loop control methods, and model predictive control-related methods.

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

PSC motors rely on the rotating magnetic field that is generated by the applied alternating voltage and corresponding alternating current to turn the rotor. The magnetic field rotates at 3,600 rpm (60 ...
