BLDC Motor Control:  Hardware Requirements and Design Guidelines

Presenter:  Prabhat Ranjan Tripathi, FleetRF PVT. LTD. India
Date:  Wednesday, May 18, 2022, 9:00 am EDT
Sponsored by the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society

Abstract: PMBLDC motors are new workhorses and have successfully replaced conventional DC and Induction motors from portable power tools and home appliances and are readily used in robotics and drones. These motors have best-in-class torque-to-weight ratios, and efficient controllers can be designed for various use case scenarios. The high availability of off-the-shelf BLDC motors in low to medium voltage and power ratings has enabled them to be employed in many battery-operated tools and appliances. However, designing a motor controller hardware involves many challenges like selecting switches, controllers, and sensors. Moreover, the proper layout of analog, digital, and power signals on a single hardware board poses a unique challenge and requires a non-trivial PCB design.

The proposed webinar lays a guideline for making such single-board BLDC motor controllers with the following points:

1- BLDC motor basics.
2- BLDC motor controllers.
3- BLDC controller design requirements.
4- Component selection.
5- PCB Layout considerations.

Importance and Need for EMI Standards for Mobility:  Part 1 of 4 - Noise Sources in EV

Presenter:  Karen Burnham, Electro Magnetic Applications, Denver, CO, USA
Date:  Thursday, May 19, 2022, 10:00 AM EDT | 14:00 UTC | 19:30 IS
Sponsored by the IEEE Standards Association and IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society

Abstract: With Electric Vehicles (EV) becoming more common, the electromagnetic noise they generate is an issue that more designers must face. Karen Burnham, Principal Scientist at Electro Magnetic Applications, brings lessons learned from years of troubleshooting electric vehicles, both hybrid and plug-in, to discuss some of the most important EV noise factors.

This webinar will be extremely helpful to a wide audience looking to become more sustainable with zero emissions commercial vehicles.
