3.2.2.1 Initial Position detect (IPD)

Initial Position Detection algorithm (IPD) function can be selected as motor startup method in applications where reverse spin is not acceptable. While this function is suitable for motors with high inertia, such as heavy blades (for example: a ceiling or appliance fan), it is not suitable for motors with low inertia, such as small blades (for example: a computer fan), because the current injection will cause the motor to shake, resulting in the IPD not being accurate.
