The aim of this paper is to develop a controller of multi-phase bipolar brushless DC (MPB BLDC) motors for an electric bicycle. A MPB BLDC motor has a Permanent magnet rotor in which the magnetic arrangement is radial to the shaft and integral to the rotor laminations. This technique concentrates flux, giving a higher flux density than a surface-mounted PM motor and increases reluctance torque. The stator of MPB BLBC motor has parallel winding, allowing multi-phase separate independent controllability. It gets much more high power than wye-connection at same low voltage. The conventional techniques of exited with modulation(EWM), bidirection control, and partial square wale control are Proposed with one H-bridge and two photo sensors per phase. The Proposed controller is satisfied for the limited speed control and designed for system stability Experimental results show the performance of the proposed controller of MPB BLDC motors for an electric bicycle.

In this paper, a drive system for multi-phase bipolar brushless DC (MPB BLDC) motor is presented. This drive system is used for an electric bicycle. In general, the maximum and minimum speed of electric bicycle are required by law. At first, the proposed controller is satisfied for the limited speed control. Secondly, the system has a technique of exited with modulation(EWM), bidirection control, and partial square wave control. Thirdly, the controller is designed for system stability Experimental results show the performance of the proposed controller of MPB BLDC motors for an electric bicycle.
