Development of Single-phase Brushless DC Motor with Outer Rotor for Ventilation Fan

Abstract

This paper is development of single-phase brushless DC motor with outer rotor for ventilation fan. Cogging torque causes the noise․vibration to greatest impact on ventilation fan. Asymmetric notches are applied to tapered-teeth for cogging torque reduction of single-phase brushless DC motor. Initial model is notchless and proposed model is applied 2 asymmetric notches. The proposed method is proved motor characteristic through finite element analysis(FEA). Also, experimental results verify that the proposed model considerably reduces cogging torque and have the good sound quality in ventilation system.
