This paper presents the analysis, design and implementation of cost effective sensorless control scheme of Brushless DC Motors (BLDCM). There are several methods proposed in BLDC motor drives to obtain optimum current and torque control with minimum torque pulsation. But while coming to industrial applications, BLDC motor voltage contains harmonics which are caused because of high speed switchi...

In a Universal DC motor, brushes control the commutation by physically connecting the coils at the correct moment. In BLDC motors the commutation is controlled by electronics. The electronics can either have position sensor inputs that provide information about when to commutate or use the Back Electromotive Force generated in the coils. Position sensors are most often used in applications wher...

This paper presents a power factor corrected (PFC) bridgeless (BL) buck–boost converter-fed brushless direct current(BLDC) motor drive as a cost-effective solution for low-power applications. An approach of speed control of the BLDC motor by controlling the dc link voltage of the voltage source inverter (VSI) is used with a single voltage sensor.

In this paper, the position-sensor less direct torque and indirect flux control of brushless dc (BLDC) motor with non sinusoidal back electromotive force (EMF) has been extensively investigated. In the literature, several methods have been proposed for BLDC motor drives to obtain optimum current and torque control with minimum torque pulsations. Most methods are complicated and do not consider ...

The three-phase permanent magnet brushless dc (BLDC) motor inherently needs an electronic commutation circuit to drive it because it is not a self-commutating motor. It is contrary to the conventional brush motor which commutates itself. This paper presents a comparison study of three widely used different commutation methods in terms of the complexity of the commutation circuit, torque ripple,...
