Abstract

A vector control apparatus for a permanent magnet motor operated in the region of weak magnet field, wherein when the output voltages of the power converter saturate, the phase error command value represented by the difference between the angular position of the reference axis for control and the angular position of the motor magnetic flux axis is generated on the basis of the difference between the q-axis current command value and the detected value of the q-axis current, and the command values for the output voltages of the power converter are corrected by using the phase error command value, whereby a highly responsive torque control with high precision can be achieved.
