Advanced Motor and Motor Control Development
Abstract
The capability of operating a high-speed permanent-magnet brushless dc motor with electronic controller over a wide load and speed range was demonstrated. A centrifugal pump was used as the loading mechanism and hydraulic fluid was pumped in simulation of an aircraft engine fuel pump requirement. A motor speed of 45,000 rpm was reached and a maximum output of 68.5 hp was demonstrated. The response of the system to step commands for speed change was established. Reduction of size and weight of electronic control was established as a primary future goal. The program system concept with minor rotating machine improvements is viable for high-speed drive applications up to 100-hp level. Keywords: Electric motors; Brushless electric equipment; Electrical loads; Permanent magnet; Brushless motor control; Electronic fuel pump.
