    Abstract: An elevator includes an elevator car and lifting machinery including a traction sheave, an electromechanical machinery brake, and an electric motor having a rotor. The traction sheave, the electromechanical machinery brake and the rotor of the electric motor are connected via a shaft, whereby the lifting machinery moves the elevator car upwards and downwards in a vertically extending elevator shaft controlled by a main control unit. The direction of rotation and the rotation speed of the rotor of the electric motor is detected with a sensor, the amplitude of the brake current provided to the machinery brake is measured, the amplitude of the brake current is increased until a first moment when the shaft and thereby also the rotor of the electric motor starts to rotate, which is detected by the sensor, the brake current is disconnected momentarily at the first moment, the torque acting on the shaft and the corresponding load in the elevator car at the first moment is determined based on the measured amplitude of the brake current at the first moment, whereby said torque is used in the main control unit for controlling the lifting machinery.

    Abstract: A method for identifying parameters, such as a magnetization-axis and torque-axis inductances, of a permanent magnet motor of an elevator includes applying, such as by a brake controller, at least one hoisting machinery brake to prevent rotation of a rotor of the permanent magnet motor, determining, by a first method, a mean value of motor inductance, as well as the magnetization-axis inductance and the torque-axis inductance as relative inductance values based on the mean value, determining, by a second method, being different than the first method, a mean value of motor main inductances, and determining absolute values of the magnetization-axis and the torque axis inductances based on the motor main inductance obtained by the second method and the relative inductance values obtained by the first method.
