BLDC Motors: BY T.Vadivelan Ap/Eee Sincet

BLDC motors have three main parts - a stator, rotor, and electronic commutator. The stator contains coils that are powered by an inverter to generate a rotating magnetic field. The rotor, made of permanent magnets, is turned by the interaction between the rotor magnets and the stator's magnetic field. Sensors determine the rotor's position so the commutator can activate stator coils in the proper sequence to keep the rotor turning smoothly. BLDC motors have advantages over brushed DC motors like higher efficiency, longer life, and reduced sparking, making them suitable for applications like computers, vehicles, medical devices, and more.

CONVENTIONAL DC MOTOR

PERMANENT MAGNET DC MOTOR (PMDC)

BRUSHLESS PERMANENT DC MOTOR (BLPMDC)


Conventional DC Motors

• Converts electrical energy to mechanical energy


• Principle- When a current carrying conductor placed in a
magnetic field experiences a force
• Stator is made up of forced steel with inward projected poles
and poles carry field windings and rotor is of silicon steel
stampings

COIL

Brushed DC motor
Permanent magnet DC motor
• Construction of PMDC is similar to conventional dc motor
• Stator poles are replaced by suitable permanent magnets
• No need to have field windings .
Brushless Permanent Magnet DC
Motor
• Brushless DC electric motor also known as electronically commutated
motors (ECMs, EC motors) are synchronous motors that are powered by a
DC electric source via an integrated inverter/switching power supply,
which produces an AC electric signal to drive the motor .
– magnetic fields generated by the stator and rotor rotate at the same
frequency
– no slip
• The stator consists of several coils which current is led through Creating a
magnetic field that makes the rotor turns .
PMBLDC Motor
Construction of BLDC
• It consist of two parts mainly stator & rotor
Stator
 Stator is made up of silicon steel stampings with slots.
 The slots are accomodated armature windings.
 This winding is wound with specified no.of poles(even
number).
 This winding connected a dc supply through a power
electronic switching circuits ( inverter circuits) .
Rotor

 Rotor is of permanent magnet


 no of poles on rotor is same as that of stator
 Rotor shaft carries a RPS (Rotor position sensor) and it
provides information about the position of shaft at any instant
to the controller which sends signal to the electronic
commutator .
 The electronic commutator function is same as that of
mechanical commutator in DC motor

Working Of BLDC Motor

• The rotor and stator of a BLDC motor are shown in the fig . It
is clear that, the rotor of a BLDC motor is a permanent
magnet.
The stator has a coil arrangement, as illustrated; The internal winding of the
rotor is illustrated in the Fig(core of the rotor is hidden here). The rotor has 3
coils,named A, B and C.

Out of these 3 coils, only one coil is illustrated in the Fig for simplicity. By
applying DC power to the coil, the coil will energize and become an
electromagnet .
The operation of a BLDC is based on the simple force
interaction between the permanent magnet and the
electromagnet. In this condition, when the coil A is energized,
the opposite poles of the rotor and stator are attracted to each
other (The attractive force is shown in green arrow). As a result
the rotor poles move near to the energized stator.
As the rotor nears coil A, coil B is energized. As the rotor nears
coil B, coil C is energized. After that, coil A is energized with the
opposite polarity . This process is repeated, and the rotor
continues to rotate. The DC current required in the each coil is
shown in the following graph.
Improving The BLDC Performance

Unlike a brushed DC motor, the commutation of BLDC


motor is controlled electronically.
It is important to know the rotor position in order
to understand which winding will be energized
following the energizing sequence.

Rotor position is sensed by different ways some


of them are
1) Hall sensors 2) Optical encoders
Hall Sensors
When a magnetic field applied to a system with
electric current a hall voltage Perpendicular to the
field and to current is generated.This was discovered
by Edwin Hall in 1879.
COMPARISON BETWEEN BDC AND
BLDC
Advantages
• Increased Reliability & Efficiency

• Longer Life

• Elimination of Sparks from Commutator

• Reduced Friction

• Faster Rate of Voltage & Current


Disadvantages
• Requires Complex Drive Circuitry

• Requires additional Sensors

• Higher Cost

• Some designs require manual labor


(Hand wound Stator Coils)
Applications
• Consumer: Hard Drives, CD/DVD Drives, PC Cooling Fans,
toys, RC airplanes, air conditioners
• Medical: Artificial heart, Microscopes, centrifuges,
Arthroscopic surgical tools, Dental surgical tools and Organ
transport pump system.
• Vehicles: electronic power steering ,personal electric vehicles
• Airplanes: an electric self launching sailplane, flies with a
42kW DC/DC brushless motor and Li-Ion batteries and can
climb up to 3000m with fully charged cells
