BLDC vs PMSM Motors: How These Electric Motors work, their Advantages and Applications in EV Drivetrain, Power Steering & More

This is our third vlog of our  video series- “All About Motors”.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

 In case you have missed out the first two videos of this series:

• Electric Motors: Power Delivery System for Automotive Applications
• Motor Control System: How Brushless DC Motor Controller and PMSM Motor Control Solutions Work

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Of the various motors deployed in automobiles, Brushless DC motor (BLDC) and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) have stood the test of time.

Reasons: Both BLDC and PMSM Electric Motors are efficient, robust and cost-effective.

But the most important value-add of BLDC & PMSM motors (over other Electric Motors) is their ability to be controlled electronically.

This feat alone makes these Electric Motors, a popular choice in development of some of the most game-changing automotive systems like electronic power steering, ABS, and Electric Vehicle Drivetrain.

We talked about a lot of similarities here! Are there any differences? Well! there are many inherent ones. Most importantly the electric current that drives BLDC and PMSM motors.

In our latest video on automotive motors and motor controller solutions, we present to you a comparison of BLDC and PMSM motors.

Important Takeaways from our BLDC vs PMSM Motor Video

• How BLDC motors work?
• How PMSM motors work?
• Advantages of BLDC and PMSM motors
• Where are BLDC motors present in an automobile
• Applications of PMSM motors

This video on automotive motors attempts to drive home the fundamentals of the two most widely used motors in automotive industry.

Watch for this space for more such informative videos on different aspects of automotive systems.
