Placement angle mistake in ST Manual


I am referring to the above diagram and the placement angle delay is mentioned as 270. How is it? According to me it shall be 90Degrees.

Hello SRedd.5,
It depends on the reference used to calculate the delay. Here, we are taking Phase A (where the BemfA is at maximum value) as reference. The diagram shows H1 is 90° behind Phase A, which would be an angle of -90°. However, H1 is also 270° before Phase A, and as we prefer positive value, we will set +270° instead of -90°.
If our reference was H1, we would indeed have a delay of +90°.
Hope this will help,
Gaël A.
