Abstract

Brushless direct current (BLDC) motors are frequently used in dynamic applications. A Brushless DC Motor is similar to a Brushed DC Motor, except that as the names indicate, they are electronically commutated rather than using brushes for commutation. Brushes are utilized in conventional brushed direct current motors to transmit power to the rotor while they rotate in a fixed magnetic field. Small Brushless DC Motors have flourished as a result of current power electronics and microprocessor technology, both in terms of price and performance. This paper will discuss the history of BLDC motors, their different types, construction, operating principles, and several control mechanisms for driving BLDC motors in various industrial applications. Keywords: BLDC Motor, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Hall Effect Sensors, Sensorless control, Rotor, Stator, Back Emf, Trapezoidal Control, Sinusoidal Control, Field Oriented Control
