Brushless motors: magnetic design, performance, and control of brushless dc and permanent magnet synchronous motors
Ancient technology by Duane Hanselman: magnetic design, performance, and control of brushless dc and permanent magnet synchronous motors
Brushless Motors: Magnetic Design, Performance and Control is an outgrowth of the author's two previous books on this subject. This book contains significant additional material covering further aspects of magnetic design, performance, and electrical control. The primary goal of this book is to meet the needs of working engineers who have little or no experience in electric motor design and control. The book starts with basic concepts, provides intuitive reasoning for them, and gradually builds a set of understandable concepts that foster the development of usable knowledge. This book strives to provide a basis of knowledge that non-experts can use to develop practical expertise, making them more productive in their work and allowing them to productively explore other approaches to motor design, performance, and electrical control.
Duane Hanselman is an Associate Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Maine, USA. He received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois in 1985. His Ph.D. dissertation involved the design of variable reluctance step motors and switched reluctance motors. Duane has used MATLAB since 1983 and has developed significant expertise in brushless permanent magnet motors (and generators), also called brushless DC motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors, and permanent magnet brushless motors. Duane provides consulting and expert witness services in the areas of motors, magnetics, and MATLAB.
