The torque-speed characteristics of brushless motor having an interior permanent magnet rotor and a sinusoidalback-emf waveform are compared experimentally when it is operated in brushless AC (BLAC) mode and brushless DC(BLDC) modes with both 2-phase, 120° conduction (BLDC-120) and 3-phase,180° conduction (BLDC-180).Particularemphasis is on high-speed,six-step voltage controlled,flux-weakening operation.h is shown that for EV/HEV applications,even for interior PM brushless motors which have sinusoidal back-emf waveforms,in order to achieve maximum torque perampere capability over wide operation speed range,it is advantageous to employ a hybrid operation mode-BLAC operationin the constant torque region and six-step voltage control (BLDC-180 operation, together with current phase control) inthe flux-weakening region.
