Abstract

This paper shows a calculation method of several types of loss and the efficiency of brushless DC motors coupled with a load system by using a simple equivalent circuit, in which copper loss, eddy current loss, hysteresis loss, friction loss, viscous loss, and inverter loss are taken into account. We clarify each loss and motor efficiency at different motor speeds and different output torques by using the Microsoft-Excel. Moreover, the calculated results are in good agreement with the measured ones.
