Symbol Description
FluxDS D-component of motor ux as referenced to the stator; also equal to the motor ux, since Q-
component is zero. Motor Flux is dened as: Motor_Voltage / Stator_Frequency (rad/s). Flux
(which has units of Volt-seconds) is also proportional (but not equal) to Volts-per-Hertz ratio.
r For an induction motor: Motor_Speed = Stator_Frequency / Pole_Pairs – Slip_Speed
This is the rotor (mechanical) frequency, which is equivalent to the motor speed.
For a synchronous motor: Motor _Speed = Stator_Frequency / Pole_Pairs
I
ds
Magnetizing component of motor current.
I
qs
Torque producing component of motor current.
V
ds,ref
Output of magnetizing current regulator used in the inverse D-Q transformation to produce
3-phase voltages.
V

Output of torque current regulator used in the inverse D-Q transformation to produce 3-phase
voltages.
ω
s
Stator frequency or output frequency of the drive. This is motorspeed (r) + Slip.
θ
s
Flux angle. This is the instantaneous position of the rotating ux vector.

c
Motor phase currents.
Motor torque in newton-meters and shaft power can be calculated as:
Torque (Nm) = 3 * Pole_Pairs * Flux (V-secs) * Iqs (A)
≈ 3 * Pole_Pairs * Motor_Voltage (V) * Iqs (A) / (2 π * Frequency (Hz))
Shaft Power (W) = Torque (Nm) * Speed (rad/s) = Torque (Nm) * Speed (rpm) / 9.55
Rated Speed = 120 * rated frequency / number of pole pairs
