Abstract:
In this article we present the optimal method of controlling and supplying a BLDC motor under static load, proposed and implemented as a result of the research. A research infrastructure was developed to measure and analyze variants of the motor control. In the research we determine possible losses of electric energy released in the form of heat in the tested engine elements. The test results showed that the lowest energy losses are provided by the variant where the control signals are obtained from an external magnetic disc and the motor is powered by an additional DC/DC converter. The conclusions from the analyses allowed for the selection of the best variant of motor control and power supply, which minimizes energy losses during the BLDC motor operation.
