To this end, the present invention may comprise: a command voltage generating unit for outputting, to an inverter, a three phase PWM voltage with respect to a command frequency on the basis of a voltage/frequency operation; and a slip frequency determining unit for determining a slip frequency on the basis of a phase current and a phase voltage of a motor driven by the inverter.

A method of a control system controls an inductance motor in a device that may include an impeller using a pressure compensation control system. The control system may be implemented in a respiratory pressure therapy device. The control system may include a sensor configured to provide a pressure signal indicative of the pressure of a flow of fluid produced by the device. A measured pressure may be compared to a set pressure to determine a pressure error. A slip frequency may be adjusted as a function of the pressure error in an attempt to eliminate or minimise the pressure error.
