Abstract

In this paper, a development of a modular controller to minimize current ripple in a low inductance coreless permanent magnet synchronous motor (CPMSM) is described. Based on individual modules, the controller uses a 60 degree commutation scheme instead of the conventional 120 degree. The neutral point of the motor’s windings is connected to an intermediate voltage level provided by a capacitor bank relative to the DC power bus. This feature allows the utilization of a single current sensing point that is used to regulate the motor’s torque by hysteretic current level control. With this simplification of the control strategy it was possible to use a single Programable Logic Device (PLD) to implement all the processing in the controller. The controller was built and tested, and the results showed efficient and smooth operation of the motor.
