ABSTRACT:
An electrical machine has a rotor position transducer which provides output signals to a control system. The output signals contain errors due to component shortcomings and manufacturing imperfections. A method is disclosed which is able to determine the errors in the signals by the use of a position detection algorithm so as to provide compensations to the control system of the machine. The compensations may be stored in the control system and used to improve the accuracy of the transducer output signals, thus improving the output of the machine.
