Permanent Magnet Brushless Direct Current Motors

Good Essays

Permanent magnet brushless direct current motors Nowadays, because of the fast evolution of electronic device, The recent developments in permanent magnet materials, solid state devices and microelectronic have led to the appearance of a new energy efficient drives using permanent magnet brushless direct current motors (PMBLDCM). Brushless direct current (BLDC) motors are preferred as small horsepower control motors because their efficiency is very high, the operation is in a silent mode, has a compact form, contains high precision, low maintenance, its structure is simple, and has a large torque, etc. Hence, it is extensively used in national defense, aerospace, robotics, industrial process control, precision machine tools, automotive electronics, household appliances and office automation [1]. However, the problems are found in these motor for variable speed operation over last decades keeping technology growth in power semiconductors, microprocessors, adjustable speed drivers control schemes and permanent-magnet brushless electric motor production have been joined to enable reliable, cost-effective solution for a wide area of adjustable speed applications. As the name reveals, Brushless motors have no brushes and commutators. In direct current (brushed) motors, the switching of current in coils of the armature is done using the combination of brushes and commutators but in the brushless, the commutation process is achieved with the help of electronic circuit, which
