CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 OVERVIEW BLDC motor is one of the types of synchronous motors. It means at the same frequency magnetic fields generated by both stator and rotor rotates. BLDC motors don’t experience the “slip” that is normally seen in induction motors. BLDC motors have single-phase, 2-phase and 3-phase configurations. The stator has the same number of windings in all it’s types. Out of these, the 3-phase motors are the most popular and widely used. Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors are one of the motor types rapidly gaining popularity. BLDC motors are used in industries such as Appliances, Automotive, Aerospace, Consumer, Medical, Industrial Automation Equipment and Instrumentation. As the name implies, BLDC motors do not use …show more content…

Switching from one commutation sequence to another depends on the feedback obtained from the motor. Here comes the importance of the two types of motor based on feedback. Depending on the type of BLDC motor being used the working of the speed controller changes drastically. BLDC motor with sensor has inbuilt position sensors embedded into the stator. These indicate the orientation of the rotor with respect to the stator. For each orientation, a particular combination is generated by the sensors. Depending on the combination next commutation sequence is generated by the controller. But in the case of position sensorless motors the Back EMF generated during the functioning of the BLDC describes the generation of feedback by monitoring motor for zero crossing. Speed controllers for sensorless BLDC motor uses the principle of Back EMF for finding out the commutation instance. When a BLDC motor rotates, each winding generates a Back EMF which opposes the main voltage supplied to the winding. The polarity of the back EMF is in the opposite direction of the energizing voltage. This Back EMF generated can be calculated for a particular RPM once we know a constant Kv (velocity constant: RPM/Volt), which is provided by all motor manufacturers and can be easily found out in the motor manual. The three wirings of the BLDC motor are energized according to the commutation …show more content…

Digital comparator is formed by configuring an OPAMP and controlling the output value by regulating the driving voltage of the OPAMP. The range of values of Back EMF around the zero crossing is found out and is given as the reference voltage at the inverting pin. The non inverting pin is given the feedback from the floating line of the BLDC motor. When the potential of the floating line drops below the reference value, a change in comparator output is noticed. This change in the feedback value from comparator makes the microcontroller switch the commutation
