The invention relates to an IGBT current feedback dead time compensation method comprising the following steps: designing a peripheral hardware circuit, sampling the output voltage of an inverter, and determining whether the voltage is at a high or low level; taking an output signal as an input signal of a current direction logic loop, and taking a drive signal of IGBTs in the upper and lower bridge arms of the inverter as a trigger signal through a logic OR gate; and inputting a final output signal of the hardware circuit to a microprocessor via an I/O port as a logic signal for judging the direction of current, getting the amount of dead time compensation through judgment, generating a PWM pulse needed, and finally completing dead time compensation. Through the method, the direction of current can be determined accurately. Moreover, whether the current is at a zero-crossing point can be determined, and transition compensation can be carried out in the zero-crossing point stage. The compensation effect is good. The current waveform distortion rate is decreased. The low-speed performance of motors is significantly improved.
