Understanding Brushless DC Motors: Principles, Components, and Applications

This comprehensive guide explores the fundamentals of Brushless DC motors, detailing their operation based on Nicola Tesla's principles. Brushless DC motors convert electrical energy into kinetic energy without commutators, using electronic sensors and switches for efficient performance. Key components, such as Hall sensors and coils, are discussed alongside advantages like increased reliability and efficiency, and disadvantages, including higher costs and complex circuitry. This resource serves enthusiasts and professionals in industries ranging from consumer electronics to industrial machinery.

  1. Brushless DC Motors Sohaib Hasan

  2. Motor Basics • What is a motor • Converts electrical energy into kinetic energy • Where did it come from • Identification of rotating magnetic field principle by Nicola Tesla in 1882 • Introduction of Electric Motor by Nicola Tesla in December 1889 (U.S. Patent 0416194)

  5. When electric current passes through a coil in a magnetic field, the magnetic force produces a torque which turns the motor. Force in Motor: F=ILB F = Force B = Magnetic Field L = Length of Conductor I = Current in Conductor Torque in Motor: T = IBA sin θ A = LW L = Length of Winding W = Width of Winding How It Works Images courtesy of Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor)

  6. Motor Types

  7. Brushless DC Motor • No Commutators • Position of Coils with respect to the magnetic field is sensed electronically. • Current is commutated through electronic switches to appropriate phases.

  8. How it Works • Halls Sensors sense the position of the coils • The Decoder Circuit turns appropriate switches on and off • The voltage through the specific coils turns the motor Images courtesy of Servo Magnetics (http://www.servomag.com/flash/2-pole/2pole-bldc-motor.html)

  9. Advantages • Increased Reliablilty & Efficiency • Longer Life • Elimination of Sparks from Commutator • Reduced Friction • Faster Rate of Voltage & Current • Precision Voltage & Current Applied to Field Coils

  10. Applications • Low Power • Consumer Electronics • Medical Field • High Power • Industrial Machinery • Vehicles • Airplanes

  11. Disadvantages • Requires Complex Drive Circuitry • Requires additional Sensors • Higher Cost • Some designs require manual labor (Hand wound Stator Coils)
