The rotor position feedback of a brushless dc motor is commonly obtained from

  • A.the damper winding currents induced in the rotor
  • B.measurement of the dc link voltage of the inverter
  • C.Hall effect sensors
  • D.a tachogenerator coupled to the shaft of the machine

Answer: C

Correct answer: Hall effect sensors

Three Hall sensors spaced 120 electrical degrees apart in the stator detect the rotor magnet poles and give six distinct states per electrical cycle - exactly the information the inverter needs to decide which two of the three phases to energise. They are cheap, robust and adequate for trapezoidal commutation. Higher-performance drives use an encoder or resolver, or estimate position from the back emf to dispense with sensors altogether.
