The Permanent Magnet Brushless DC (BLDC) motor offers higher efficiency, low maintenance, reduced weight and compact construction. For many industrial applications, the BLDC motor is increasingly being used. This paper presents a new sensorless drive scheme for BLDC motor based on the back EMF difference. The commutation point of the drive is determined by detecting the Zero Crossing Point (ZCP...

Electrical motors drive a variety of loads in today’s world. Almost every industrial process relies on some kind of electrical motors and generators. There exist billions electric motors used in different applications all over the world. Majority of them are small fractional HP motors use in household appliances. However, they used about 5% of the electricity used by the motors. Three phase mot...

This paper describes the calculation of torqueina brushless permanent-magnet line-start a.c. motor by means of the ~~UX-MMF diagram in combination with the finite-element method. Results are compared with measured ~~UX-MMF diagrams, with shaft torque measurements, and with torque calculated using the classical phasor diagram.

The starting torque of a single-phase permanent magnet brushless dc motor is investigated, for both radial and parallel magnetization. Finite element analysis is used to assess the relative merits of alternative methods of introducing the required airgap asymmetry, viz. tapered airgap, stepped airgap, asymmetric airgap, and slotted teeth. The predicted results are validated experimentally.

Many control schemes have been proposed for induction motor and permanent magnet synchronous motor control, which are almost highly complex and non-linear. Also, a simple and efficient method for unified control of the electric moto are rarely investigated. In this paper, a novel control method based on rotor flux orientation is proposed. The novelties of proposed method are elimination of q-ax...

Permanent Magnet Brushless DC motors are used wide applications in industries due to their high power density and easy to control. These motors are generally controlled using a three phase power semiconductor bridge. For starting and to provide proper commutation sequence to turn on the power devices in the inverter bridge the rotor position sensors are required. Based on the rotor position, th...

To promote energy saving, we developed a high efficiency brushless DC motor with a new manufacturing method of a stator for compressors. This motor consists of a concentrated winding stator and an interior permanent magnet rotor. The stator has the core structure that we call “a joint-lapped core”. The joint-lapped core is able to open and bend in reverse. While winding the coil, the joint-lapp...
