 Abstract   This paper presents a modelling analysis of three-phase converter non-linearities and their effect on sensorless motor control algorithms. Several factors contributing to converter non-linearities are investigated and their relative importance for the sensorless algorithm ascertained. The study was carried out using Saber simulation software, which allows very accurate simulation of the switching behaviour of the converter. Use of simulation allows the investigation of the importance of individual factors. The paper shows that the most dominant factors contributing to converter non-linearities are that of dead-time and device voltage drop. Furthermore different dead-time and voltage drop compensation strategy are presented. Simulation results prove the necessity of using compensation strategies to improve the performance of the sensorless control. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the validity of the analysis.
