ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of determine rotor position for a switched reluctance motor is claimed. A phase voltage and a phase current are measured. An estimated flux voltage value is determined from the measured phase voltage and the phase current. The phase current is again measured when the estimated flux linkage value is approximately equal to a reference flux linkage value. Rotor position is determined based on the reference flux linkage value and the measured phase current value.
