1 Introduction

A Brushless Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) has been widely applied to industrial and automotive applications due to lots of advantage over other motors. For control side, Field Oriented Control (FOC) and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) have become a general control method in variable-speed ac motor drivers applications with PMSM. For most of applications power rating is lower than a couple of kW, three shunt resistors located in low side of power switches are generally used to measure three-phase motor currents for FOC. However, a single-shunt feedback located in dc link return side is also widely used for cost sensitive applications like digital appliance. This application report shows how to reconstruct three-phase currents with a single dc link current by using InstaSPIN-FOC solution with MotorControl SDK.
