We will model a three-phase permanent magnet motor driven by a direct current (DC) power source. This has three coils on the stator and permanent magnets on the rotor. This type of motor is driven by a DC power source with six semiconductor switches that are connected to the three coils, known as the A, B, and C coils. Two or more coils can be used to drive a brushless DC motor, but three coils are particularly easy to implement. This type of motor is used in many industrial applications today, including electric ...
