The high frequency voltage generator 120 may generate a high frequency voltage command (vdqsh{circumflex over (r)}*), which is added to the fundamental wave voltage command (vdqsf{circumflex over (r)}*), for sensorless control of the motor 101. The high frequency voltage command (vdqsh{circumflex over (r)}*) has a higher frequency than a driving frequency of the motor 101 driven by the fundamental wave voltage command output from the current controller 110.
The high frequency voltage generator 120 may generate the high frequency voltage command in an estimated d-axis on the estimated coordinate system. Namely, the injected high frequency voltage command (vdqsh{circumflex over (r)}*) may include only the estimated d-axis component. The fundamental wave voltage command (vdqsf{circumflex over (r)}*) and the high frequency voltage command (vdqsh{circumflex over (r)}*) may be added by an adder 10 and transmitted to the inverter 140.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the motor control apparatus 100 may further include a first coordinate converter 130 or a second coordinate converter 150.
