Performance Improvement of Two Leg Inverter Fed BLDCM Drive

In small scale and large scale applications like automobile industries, domestic appliances such as Refrigerators, washing machine and air conditioning units which use conventional motor technology. These conventional motors have a chacterstics of Low torque, high maintenance and low efficiency. The usage of BLDCM enhances various performance factors ranging from higher efficiency, higher torque, high power density, low maintenance and less noise than conventional motors. The main drawback is high cost. In this paper a two leg inverter fed BLDCM drive is proposed which uses only four switches and two current sensors compared with six switches, three current sensors in case of three leg inverter fed BLDCM drive. Less number of switches and current sensors means less switching loss and low cost. In this paper a two leg inverter fed BLDCM drive with two input DC source is proposed. The proposed PMBLDCM drive is modeled and its performance is simulated in MATLAB / SIMULINK . This proposed method is a simple, low cost and enhanced performance of dive is obtained i.e., reduced torque ripple, less voltage stress, Low current THD and fast
