Abstract
With great advancement of the automobile functions, environmental factors become important performances, especially noise. This paper investigates noise sources of outer rotor type BLDC motor using in the air-conditioner of the automobiles. To this end, this paper is analyzed two viewpoints, structural and electromagnetic causes. Structural analysis is conducted through modal test and analysis. For modal analysis, 3D finite element analysis is carried out using commercial program ansys. Electromagnetic causes are analyzed from local force that is computed by Maxwell stress tensor method. Local force excites structure of motor directly. Finally, correlation analysis is performed to determine effect between noise causes.
