Permanent Magnet Synchronous and Brushless DC Motor Drives by Ramu Krishnan is an English-language study book focused on the latest developments in motor drives. This book covers brushless DC motors and permanent magnet motors extensively, with attention to both design and advanced control techniques.
The reference work provides an overview of machines, power electronics, power supplies, and control strategies for variable speeds. In addition, it addresses modeling, implementation, flux weakening, and sensorless rotor position sensors. The operation of the motor drives is explained with MATLAB® simulations and examples.
The book consists of three parts: the basic principles of permanent-magnet and brushless DC machines, the inverters and power electronics, and the various motor control strategy options. This makes it suitable for professionals and academics who delve into brushless motors and permanent magnet technology.
