BLDC Simulation


 

Hi,

I am have intermediate skill for simulation, just trying to simulation BLDC motor from LTwiki example(http://ltwiki.org/files/LTspiceIV/examples/Motors\MotorTest01). I managed to simulation with default parameters but not sure, if I can change speed or commutation frequency.?

Your comments would be appreciated.?


Thanks,
Jayal Pansuriya


 

Hello Jayal

I am have intermediate skill for simulation, just trying to simulation BLDC
motor from LTwiki example(
http://ltwiki.org/files/LTspiceIV/examples/Motors\MotorTest01). I managed to
simulation with default parameters but not sure, if I can change speed or
commutation frequency.
The speed of the simulation is given (mostly) by the models. As for
the parameters, they are there, as long as you know what you're
changing, nobody is stopping you from testing.

Did you review the content of the file

which documents (as much as there is) these files?

As a brushless DC motor, the speed should be [nearly] proportional to
the applied voltage and the commutation frequency should proportional to
the speed.

Hi Gents,

Thanks for your comments,

Initially, my thought was motor will spin faster by changing commutation frequency. Anyways, I have managed to change motor speed by increasing input voltage as it is function of Back EMF.?

Appreciate for your comments.?


Kind Regards,

Again, increasing the supply voltage (the V source labelled VHV near the
top right of the schematic; it is set to 24V) will increase the motor
speed (and, consequently, the commutation frequency.)

Changing it to 12V will slow the motor to about half speed; increasing
it to 48V will approximately double the motor speed.

It is a brushless DC motor - speed is controlled primarily by the supply
voltage. Commutation frequency is a function of speed; speed is NOT a
function of commutation frequency. The way to change speed is to change
the supply voltage; commutation frequency will then also change.

Did I mention to change the supply voltage (change it from 24V) to
change the motor's speed?

Hi Donald,

Agree with you, it performing as expected. Regarding increasing voltage, I have bit knowledge of BLDC motor so I thought lets change supply voltage instead of Back EMF for quick check.?

Jayal Pansuriya?

Actually, you CAN control speed with commutation frequency, but only
downwards, if you disengage that automatic commutation system normally
being used, you can get very tight speed control by using a fixed
frequency commutation. You do need to monitor the speed the motor is
going because if something does cause it to drop you may need to adjust
the commutation to keep it from loosing lock.

Good point. The OP asked about increasing speed, so I was thinking in
that direction. In the provided models, I didn't see any means to modify
commutation frequency (though I admit to not looking very hard.)
