The Brushless DC Motor

          To understand why a BLDC motor is so effective, it’s important to have a good understanding of how it works. There are actually two different types, with different benefits and drawbacks. While either one will probably be effective for most jobs, you may wish to familiarize yourself with both types, just in case one would be more appropriate for your project or application than the other.

Any BLDC motor has two primary parts; the rotor, the rotating part, and the stator, the stationary part. Other important parts of the motor are the stator windings and the rotor magnets.

There are two basic BLDC motor designs: inner rotor and outer rotor design.


In an outer rotor design, the windings are located in the core of the motor. The rotor magnets surround the stator windings as shown here. The rotor magnets act as an insulator, thereby reducing the rate of heat dissipation from the motor. Due to the location of the stator windings, outer rotor designs typically operate at lower duty cycles or at a lower rated current. The primary advantage of an outer rotor BLDC motor is relatively low cogging torque.


In an inner rotor design, the stator windings surround the rotor and are affixed to the motor’s housing as shown here. The primary advantage of an inner rotor construction is its ability to dissipate heat.

 A motor’s ability to dissipate heat directly impacts its ability to produce torque. For this reason, the overwhelming majority of BLDC motors use an inner rotor design. Another advantage of an inner rotor design is lower rotor inertia.

If you’re still not sure whether or not this motor is right for you, here is a basic breakdown of some of the primary advantages of the BLDC motor.

High Speed Operation – A BLDC motor can operate at speeds above 10,000 rpm under loaded and unloaded conditions.

Responsiveness & Quick Acceleration – Inner rotor Brushless DC motors have low rotor inertia, allowing them to accelerate, decelerate, and reverse direction quickly.
High Power Density – BLDC motors have the highest running torque per cubic inch of any DC motor.
High Reliability – BLDC motors do not have brushes, meaning they are more reliable and have life expectancies of over 10,000 hours. This results in fewer instances of replacement or repair and less overall down time for your project.

A2XWY; A2XFY Cables meaning; XLPE cables advantages over PVC cables

Technical Specification of Aluminum Cables in terms of codes So many times you have seen coding while specifying cables technical such as A2XWY now what does this means. Now there is nomenclature for the same which is used while describing the same. Where A -  Aluminium 2X- XLPE Insulation W – Steel round wire armour F- Steel Strip Armour WW- Double Steel round Armour FF- Double Steel Strip Armour Y- PVC outer Sheath Wa- Non Magnetic round wire Armour Fa- Non Magnetic Strip Armour AW- Aluminum Wire Armour Now As per A2XWY – This describes that it is Aluminum cable, XLPE insulated, With Steel round wire armour and having PVC outer Sheath. This coding is as per IS 7098(Part1):1988. You have also seen that there is coding for copper so there is no coding required in case of copper cables. XLPE cables advantages over PVC cables/ Thermoplastic cables:- 1.       XLPE cables have higher Power rating about 1.2 times PVC cables 2.       XLP...

Digital Multimeter working principle; DMM working

Image
Digital multimeters are most widely used in every industry as it used for measurement of Voltage, Current, Resistance, Capacitance and various other parameters. DMMs have been available for very several years. Yet it is still challenging to locate advice about how a digital multimeter works. The operation of a digital multimeter is comparatively uncomplicated, although there are obviously differences in how digital mulimeters work if they're from different makers.Despite this, there are several similarities and some general principles of how digital multimeters work. Fundamentals of how a DMM functions The key process occurring within a digital multimeter for any measurement is that of voltage measurement. All other measurements are derived from this basic measurement. So the best technique for understanding how a digital multimeter functions is in understanding this procedure. There are many kinds to digital converter, ADC. Nonetheless the one that is most widely used DMMs in di...

Wireless voltmeter using Arduino and RF 433MHz receiver and transmitter

Image
In this project i showed you how to make a wireless voltmeter using arduino and RF 433MHz receiver and transmitter. You can use this code and concept for many other projects, any project which used sensor with analog voltage output to sense temperature, gas leakage or light , etc. For example you can put a LM35 temperature sensor rather than potantiometer, you just have to putting its formula which convert LM35 output pin voltage to exact temperature. You also can make a wireless AC or DC power meter by doing some change in code and hardware (using hall effect current sensor and single phase voltage sensor). This type of RF module has distance range up to 200 meters according to datasheet but when i bought this RF module from Aliexpress its distance rang was very low, but i set its adjustable RF coil very carefully and i get very higher distance rang.(Don't play with RF coil if your module works good), You also have to use a 6 inch antenna to increase distance range to max as possi...
