Abstract

Brushless DC Motors (BLDCM) have many benefits for their high efficiency, small size, and low maintenance requirements. On the other hand, high efficiency electronics are usually related to the usage of ARM based microcontrollers. In this work, the behavior over multiple PWM frequencies and after applying PWM compensation is studied using an ARM based board. In general, performance of sensorless and hall-effect based controller show expected differences. However, by using the proposed control schema on a real plant, impactful advantages are obtained showing 67% performance improvement and an average of 20% torque ripple reduction.
