| Abstract |
Brushless DC motor(BLDCM) can be driven by 120[°] square wave voltage and use PWM pulse patterns in two-phase feeding scheme to control the speed of the motor. This paper introduces four PWM modes used BLDCM control system, and analyzes their different influences on the motor performances using a time-stepped voltage source finite element method. To verify the proposed computational method, we built the prototype motor for electrical power steering(EPS) and compared the predicted and the measured back EMF and phase current. |
