The commutation process causes current ripple to be generated in the drive system of brushless DC (BLDC) motor. This, in turn, leads to output torque ripple. Mechanical vibration and acoustic noise are its influences which are undesirable phenomenon in some applications. A new method is presented in this paper which reduces torque ripple and commutation period in the entire range of motor speed...

This paper presents a method to reduce the commutation torque ripple in a position sensorless brushless DC motor drive. To compensate the commutation torque ripple considerably, the duration of commutation must be known. The proposed method measures the duration of commutation from the terminal voltage of the motor, calculates a PWM duty ratio using the measured commutation interval to suppress...

The mathematical model of the equivalent circuit of a brushless DC motor switches during the operation due to commutation. This issue causes a sudden ripple in the output torque, which is called commutation torque ripple. Brushless DC motor drives suffer from commutation torque ripple, affecting the performance of the motor in practical applications. A discrete-time switched controller is propo...

This study focused on efficiency improvement of BLDC motors via reduction of torque ripple, core loss, and permanent magnet loss. To achieve this objective, we proposed an improved 150° commutation method for three-phase permanent magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motors to improve the current waveform. Although the 120° commutation method is generally employed for a BLDC motor, the 150° commutation m...

This paper presents a new model for torque generation of permanent-magnet synchronous motors and their control based on Fourier coefficients. A new commutation strategy delivers ripple-free torque and simultaneously minimizes copper losses for the case when the motor’s servo amplifier dynamics are negligible. However, multipole motors give rise to high frequency control signals, and often the d...
