Full Title
Arrangements or methods for the control of AC motors characterised by a control method other than vector control > Direct torque control [DTC] or field acceleration method [FAM]
Additional Content IPC
DTC Direct torque control is one method used in variable frequency drives to control the torque (and thus finally the speed) of three-phase AC electric motors. This involves calculating an estimate of the motor's magnetic flux and torque based on the measured voltage and current of the motor.
