Abstract
Owing to the variable magnetic coupling between the stator windings and the discrete rotor bars of an induction motor, a quasicontinuous rotor position signal can be acquired by instantaneous measurement of the total leakage inductance of the three stator phases. The signals are sampled in synchronism with the regular commutations of the pulsewidth-modulation process, thus making the injection of additional high-frequency carriers obsolete. The acquired position signal exhibits high spatial resolution and high dynamic bandwidth. Magnetic saturation also influences the total leakage inductances and, hence, constitutes a disturbance for position identification. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the saturation effects and proposes methods to eliminate their undesired impact on the position signal. Experimental results of closed-loop sensorless position control at full load and high dynamic performance are presented.
