This week we discuss the Clarke and Park transforms (AKA alpha-beta and DQ0 transforms) in our quest to develop a more optimal method of control (Field oriented Control)
footnote: Again a reminder, we are talking about permanent magnet motors. For induction motors current in the D direction will be necessary for torque production.
