Figure 3-19
demonstrates the back-EMF during the start up. The
amplitude of the back-EMF varies according to the rotor speed. During
the starting (back-EMF acquisition) state the commutation is done in
advance. In the running state the commutation is done at the right
moments.

Figure 3-20
illustrates the sequence of the commutations during the
starting (back-EMF acquisition) state. The commutation times T2[1] and
T2[2] are calculated without any influence of back-EMF feedback. The
commutation time calculations are explained in the following section.
