Vector drive
A class of drives that sense motor current in each individual motor phase and resolves these readings into two current vectors. One vector is the torque producing current and other is the waste current. The current control algorithm then works to drive the non-torque-producing component to zero. This result in a high bandwidth torque response over the full speed range without the phase lag and tolerance issues that place older drive technologies.
