The interior permanent-magnet (IPM) machine is used in many industrial drives. In order to analyze performance and to design efficient and fast controllers, accurate knowledge of machine parameters such as - and -axes inductances is essential. Although there are a number of methods available to calculate these inductances, none of them is considered standard. Accuracy levels of all these methods are also not consistent, and some of the measurement methods require complicated arrangements. Among these test methods, the ac standstill test and a newly developed test method that uses vector current control technique are ideal for a laboratory environment. In this paper, these two methods are compared by applying themto a prototype IPM machine. The paperanalyzes the test results of the methods and their differences in detail with the help of finite-element analysis. 

Journal of Industrial Electronics and Applications is using online manuscript submission, review and tracking systems of SciTechnol for quality and quick review processing.Authors may submit manuscripts and track their progress through the system, hopefully to publication. Reviewers can download manuscripts and submit their opinions to the editor. Editors can manage the whole submission/review/revise/publication process. Publishers can see what manuscripts are in the pipeline awaiting publication. Email is sent automatically to appropriate parties when significant events occur.

Submit manuscripts at https://www.scholarscentral.org/submissions/industrial-electronics-applications.html or an e-mail attachment to the Editorial Office at induselectron@peerjournal.org
