 BRUSHLESS DC (BLDC)
MOTOR
BLDC motors typically have a three-phase stator
winding and a rotor with surface-mounted
permanent magnets.
As the name indicates, a BLDC motor does not have a commutator
using brushes and therefore it is more reliable than a DC motor.
The digital control and power electronics replace the function of a
mechanical commutator and energize the proper winding. BLDC
motors are used in pumps, fans and other industrial devices that
require high reliability and efficiency.

In BLDC motors, the rotor position must be known to energize the

required phase pair and control the phase voltage. If sensors are
used to detect the rotor position, then sensed information must be
transferred to a control unit. This requires additional connections
to the motor, which may not be acceptable in some applications.
Also, additional cost of the position sensors and the wiring may be
unacceptable. The physical connection problem could be solved by
incorporating the driver in the motor body, however, a significant
number of applications do require a sensorless solution due to their
low-cost nature.

Most BLDC sensorless techniques are based upon extracting

position information from the back EMF voltage of the stator
windings while the motor is spinning. Those techniques can be used
from 5 percent of nominal speed, when back EMF is measurable.
BLDC back EMF sensorless techniques can be implemented
without complex control algorithms just by sensing the back EMF
voltage in the unpowered motor phase.

 PERMANENT MAGNET
SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR
(PMSM)
Similar to BLDC motors, PMSMs have a three-
phase stator and a rotor with surface/interior-
mounted permanent magnets.
A PMSM provides rotation at a fixed speed in synchronization with
the frequency of the power source. PMSMs are therefore ideal for
high-accuracy fixed-speed drives. Boasting very high-power density,
very high efficiency and high response, the motor is suitable for
most sophisticated applications in the industrial segment. It also
has a high overload capability. A PMSM is largely maintenance free,
which ensures the most efficient operation.

Synchronous motors operate at an improved power factor, thereby

improving the overall system power factor and eliminating or
reducing utility power factor penalties. An improved power factor
also reduces the system’s voltage drop and the voltage drop at the
motor terminals.

+ Heat generated in stator is easy to remove

+ High torque per frame size

+ Reliability due to absence of brushes and commutator

+ Highest efficiency

 AC INDUCTION MOTOR
(ACIM)
ACIM is one of the most popular motor types for
industrial and consumer applications.
This is due to many factors such as the lack of commutator/brushes
(high reliability), high efficiency at high loads and the ability to
connect directly to the AC line. ACIMs have a classic three-phase
stator and commonly have a “squirrel cage” rotor in which the
conductors are shorted together at both ends. The operation
principle of ACIM is very similar to a transformer. A rotor current
is induced in the rotor circuit from the stator windings. This current
produces rotor flux, which interacts with the stator electromagnets
to produce torque.

18
 Application examples Advantages
+ Low cost per horsepower (no permanent magnets)

+ Inherent AC operation (direct connection to AC line)

+ Very low maintenance (no brushes) and

rugged construction

+ Available in wide range of power ratings

Power tools White goods Pumps
+ Low-cost speed control with tachogenerator

+ Simple control

Industrial Construction Home Tradeoffs

variable machinery appliances - Inefficient at light loads
speed drives - Rotor temperature change complicates sensorless control

- Speed control requires varying stator frequency

- Position control difficult (field orientation required)
