The BLDC Motor and Vector Control PMSM Drives Training System introduces the student to the permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). This type of machine is used in a wide range of modern applications such as computers, household appliances, and electric vehicles. The training system covers the operation and characteristics of two types of motor that use PMSM technology: the brushless dc (BLDC) motor and the PMSM drive. It also deals with the most common types of modulation used to implement BLDC motors (six-step 120° modulation and six-step PWM) and PMSM drives (vector control).
