Brushless DC Motors Kyle Pillion
What is it? Brushed Motor Brushless Motor
Advantages vs. Brushed Motors • Longer lifetime • Increased efficiency • More power • Quieter • Greater control • Increased reliability
Physical Construction • Inrunner • Outrunner
Electrical Construction • Delta • series • low torque at low rpm • higher top speed • Wye • parallel • high torque at low rpm • lower top speed
Controller • Hall Effect Sensor • 4 magnets • Red – North • Blue - South • 2 pairs of coils
