A METHOD OF CONTROLLING ELECTRIC MOTORS, CORRESPONDING DEVICE AND MOTOR

An electric motor including a plurality of windings (A, B, C), may be driven by: _ - sensing (12) currents ( i a *, i b *, i c *) in the motor windings (A, B, C), - generating (14, 16) a motor rotation angle signal (¸) from the currents sensed ( i a *, i b *, i c *), - generating (10) motor control voltages ( V a , V b , V c ) as a function of the motor rotation angle signal (¸), - driving (18) the motor windings with motor drive voltages ( V a *, V b * , V c ) obtained by injecting into the motor control voltages ( V a , V b , V c ) injection pulses ( V ainj , V binj , V cinj ), wherein the currents sensed ( i a *, i b * , i c *) include torque components ( i a0 , i b0 , i c0 ), and injection components ( i ainj , i binj , i cinj ), and - generating (14, 16) the motor rotation angle signal (¸) as a function of the injection components ( i ainj , i binj , i cinj ) of the currents sensed ( v a *, i b * , i c *).
