Zusammenfassung:A method for determining an initial position of a rotor of a polyphase motor is described. The method comprises determining current change values from a plurality of phases of the motor during saturation of the motor relating to the initial position of the rotor; identifying a set of modelled current change values according to a modelled behaviour of the motor, in which the modelled current change values represents modelled positions of the rotor under the modelled behaviour; and comparing the current change values to the set of modelled current change values to identify the initial rotor position from the modelled positions. A system implementing the method is also described.
