SEM Subject Impt Two Marks Question With Answers
The permanent-magnet brushless DC motor (BLDC motor) has achieved a brilliant application in
aerospace, military, automotive, office automation and household equipment industries,
since it has the advantages of high efficiency, long lifetime, low noise and good torque-speed
characteristics.
For smaller rating Permanent Magnet reduces the manufacturing cost and thus PMDC motor are
cheaper.
As these motors do not require field windings, they do not have field circuit copper losses. This
increases their efficiency.
Permanent magnet motors utilize several types of permanent magnet materials, including hard
ferrites, alnico, samarium cobalt and neodymium iron boron. Hard ferrites are the permanent
magnet material most commonly found (by weight) in permanent magnet motors.
BLDC motor works on the principle similar to that of a Brushed DC motor. The Lorentz force
law which states that whenever a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field it
experiences a force. As a consequence of reaction force, the magnet will experience an
equal and opposite force.
2) How the permanent magnet motors are named based on the wave shape of emf?
eph= 2BgrlTphωm
To reverse the default motor direction of a BLDC motor must reverse two of the Hall
sensor wires and the correct pair of the Phase wires (only one of the three phase wire
swap options will work correctly). Swapping any two of the wires connecting a brushless DC
4)Sketch the ideal phase voltage and current waveform of PMBLDC machine .
4) A permanent magnet DC commutator motor has a stalling torque of 2 Nm. The stall current is 5
Tstart = 2 Nm ; Istart = 5A ;
The intrinsic coercivity which is defined as the magnitude of applied magnetic field that
demagnetizes a permanent magnet to zero polarization from the fully magnetized state.
PMSM Characteristics
No sparks, safer in explosive environments.
Clean, fast and efficient.
Designed for high-performance servo applications.
Runs with/without position encoders.
More compact, efficient and lighter than an ACIM.
Produces optimal torque when coupled with Field-Oriented Control (FOC)
Construction. The permanent magnet synchronous motor construction is similar to the basic
synchronous motor, but the only difference is with the rotor. The rotor doesn't have any field
winding, but the permanent magnets are used to create field poles.
There are three control schemes for electronic commutation: trapezoidal, sinusoidal and field-
oriented control.
The trapezoidal technique is the simplest. At each step, two windings are energized (one “high”
and one “low”) while the other winding floats. The disadvantage of the trapezoidal method is that
this ‘stepped’ commutation causes the torque to ‘ripple’, especially at low speeds.
Sinusoidal control is more complex, but it reduces torque ripple. During this control regime, all
three coils remain energized with the driving current in each of them varying sinusoidally at 120°
from each other. The result is a much smoother power delivery compared with the trapezoidal
technique.
Field-oriented control relies on measuring and adjusting stator currents so that the angle
between the rotor and stator flux is always 90°. This technique is more efficient at high speeds
than the sinusoidal method and gives better performance during dynamic load changes
compared to all other techniques.
