ABSTRACT:
Power is provided to the stator windings of an AC induction machine which includes a component at the fundamental drive frequency for the machine and a superimposed signal component which is at a substantially higher frequency than the drive power. The fundamental drive power is provided at a level which results in saturation in the stator which follows the magnetic flux vector. The stator response at the signal frequency is then detected to provide a correlation between the response at the signal frequency and the magnetic flux vector position. The detection of the response at the signal frequency is preferably carried out by a heterodyne detection process, by mixing signals at the signal frequency with the measured stator currents, and filtering the mixed signals to isolate the signal indicative of the flux vector position.
