ABSTRACT (Continue on rsevere side If necessary and identify by block number)-The brushless W machine theoretically offers wide speed range torque characteristics like unto the commutator DC machine. However, in brushless DC motor drive systems there exists a performance deficiency in that at near zero speeds driven mechanical loads can respond. to the pulsating component of developed torque when simple rotor position-activated switching is utilized. This report analytically develops a pulse width modulation control philosophy that reduces torque pulsations to an acceptable level.
