Abstract
A d-phase current in the direction of a magnetic flux generated by a field system and a q-phase current in a direction perpendicular thereto are obtained from a driving current and a rotor phase of an AC servomotor by d-q conversion. DC-mode current control is carried out with this d-phase current adjusted to zero and using the q-phase current as a current command. In this DC-mode current control, the influence of magnetic saturation is restrained to lessen torque reduction by advancing the phase of the q-phase current command, which is effective component of the current command, in case of magnetic saturation.
