Abstract

This paper presents a method for improving the performance of Brushless DC motor drive. This
method depends on the varying of switch-on angle of motor phase current. The phase current and
torque for proposed method are discussed. The operation of motor drive at different switchdn
angle for same speed is studied and discussed. The results of this studying report an investigation
into the motor characteristics of such method according to torque, efficiency and torque ripples
factor. Computer simulation result had shown a noticeable improvement in motor performance. .& J.& ,&ii & Jd d_YiJl +XI MI &I dP .IJ @ &A lir &
