Abstract


In recent years BLDC Motor and their drives are becoming a major market trend in home appliances, automotive applications and in HVAC industry for their better reliability, silent operation and high efficiency with low maintenance. For a traditional BLDC Motor, a six step commutated pattern with position sensors are provided which increases the cost of the BLDC Motor. Hence the preference is switch over to the sensorless drive to reduce the cost and complexity. The existing conventional sensorless scheme which has its own limit for the applications which is the major drawback of back emf sensing based on motor neutral voltage. In this paper a new technique is implemented with direct back emf detection for sensorless BLDC Motor drives. To measure the back emf, there is no need of motor neutral voltage. During the Off time of the PWM, the terminal voltage of the motor is directly proportional to the phase back emf. For the back emf sensing, there is no need of attenuation filtering. At low cost, the wider motor speed range had achieved with superior performance which shows with the help of MATLAB/ SIMULINK Software.
