METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DETERMINING AN OFFSET ANGLE IN AN ELECTRIC MACHINE

摘要

The invention relates to a method and device for determining or checking the plausibility of an offset angle between an assumed orientation and an actual orientation of a rotor (20) relative to a stator (10) in an electric machine (1). In the method, the electric machine is first controlled in a quasi zero-current state, in which substantially no current should flow in the windings of the electric machine. Then a voltage indicator that specifies the direction of a voltage controlled in the electric machine during the quasi zero-current state is determined and subsequently transformed into a coordinate system that is fixed with respect to the rotor. The offset angle or an angle error with respect to a previously assumed, calibrated offset angle can be determined on the basis of the transformed voltage indicator.
