The rotor position of permanent magnet synchronous motor is mostly detected by mechanical encoders, which increase
the complexity and cost but reduce the reliability of the control system, moreover limit the applications of permanent
magnet synchronous motor in certain special situations. In this paper, one method that can detects the rotor position,
winding temperature and the rotor flux meanwhile through additional windings instead of changing motor structure is
proposed. An additional winding is connected in the orientation opposite to that of the stator winding, and then a
high-frequency current is injected into the winding to calculate the rotor position, sense the main motor winding
temperature and the rotor flux by detecting the variations of the additional winding resistance and back electromagnetic
force (EMF). Experimental results validate that the method is effective and feasible.
