ELECTRIC MOTOR CONTROL
First Claim
1. A control system, for an electric motor arranged to have electrical voltages applied to it to generate electrical currents in it, the control system comprising a processor arranged to perform a control process which defines at least one parameter and includes monitoring the electrical voltages applied to the motor and the electrical currents generated in the motor, and determining from them a rotational position of the motor, the control system being further arranged to monitor the at least one parameter of the control process thereby to detect a stall condition of the motor.

Abstract
A control system for an electric motor comprises processing means arranged to perform a control process which includes monitoring electrical voltages applied to the motor and electrical currents in the motor, and determining from them the rotational position of the motor. The system is further arranged to monitor at least one parameter of the control process thereby to detect a stall condition of the motor.
