There is described a method of controlling an inverter supplying power to a permanent magnet AC, PMAC, motor having a plurality of phase windings, The method comprises: selecting a first phase winding of the PMAC motor; electrically connecting the first phase winding to a first DC terminal of a DC link circuit at a first time, and maintaining the connection between the first phase winding and the first DC terminal: determining a flux difference between the first phase winding and a second phase winding of the PMAC motor; selecting a second time to electrically connect the second phase winding to the first DC terminal; electrically connecting the second phase winding to the first DC terminal at the second time; and maintaining the connection between the second phase winding and the first DC terminal. The second time is selected based on the determined flux difference.
