The difference between vector controller and sine wave controller

In the field of motor control, vector controller and sine wave controller are two common control strategies, each with unique working principles, control performance,

and application scenarios. The differences between these two controllers will be discussed in detail below.

1. Introduction
The motor control system is a core component of modern industrial automation, transportation, and home appliance applications. Among them, vector controller and sine

wave controller are the two main control strategies that play a decisive role in the operational performance of the motor. Understanding the differences between them helps us

make more reasonable choices in practical applications.

2、 Overview of Vector Controllers

working principle

Vector controller is based on vector control theory, which achieves precise control of the motor by controlling the motor vector. The basic principle is to measure and control the

stator current vector of the asynchronous motor, and control the excitation current and torque current of the asynchronous motor according to the principle of magnetic field orientation,

in order to achieve the goal of controlling the torque of the asynchronous motor. This control method can separately control the magnetic field and torque of the motor, similar to the characteristics of a separately excited DC motor.
