A method for controlling a motor by an inverter and by a vectorial technique, comprising the following steps: determining the value of a quadrature current Iq necessary for said motor to generate the desired torque; calculating the value of a direct current to be supplied to the motor by an equation as a function of the phase of the current vector on which the torque constant of the motor depends; calculating the power current of said motor from the direct current and the quadrature current; supplying the power current to the motor through the inverter.
