What Is the Best Textbook for Comprehensive Learning About Brushless DC Motors?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a comprehensive textbook for brushless DC (BLDC) motors, emphasizing the need for in-depth coverage of both physics and control theory. Key topics of interest include mathematical approaches to induced currents, controller design fundamentals, and comparisons with conventional motor types such as AC induction and synchronous motors. Participants express concerns about the quality and depth of available textbooks, seeking a definitive resource that covers essential concepts without excessive cost.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of brushless DC motor physics
  • Familiarity with control theory and controller design
  • Knowledge of electrical engineering principles, particularly induced currents
  • Basic concepts of conventional motor types for comparative analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research textbooks specifically focused on brushless DC motor design and control, such as "Brushless DC Motors: Principles and Practice"
  • Explore mathematical modeling techniques for induced currents in electric motors
  • Study various controller schemes applicable to BLDC motors, including PID and state-space control
  • Compare performance metrics of BLDC motors against AC induction and synchronous motors
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, students in electrical engineering programs, and professionals involved in motor design and control systems will benefit from this discussion.

I'm looking for a textbook that has an in depth coverage of brushless DC motor physics as well as control theory.
-indepth mathematical approach as well as conceptual theory
-controller schemes and design fundementals
-mathematical study of induced currents on the stator/rotor, and what this means for controller design and feedback
-rotor inertia, air gap, power, torque, etc...
-a comparison with conventional motors including ac induction, ac synchronous, standard dc, switch reluctance, etc...
Any help with text suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I found several dozen on amazon.com but I am overwhelmed by the selection and prices. I need the "ace in the hole" text so I won't have to buy two. I'm also concerned that I will spend 100+ dollars on a textbook that only has ~5 pages of BLDC theory.
Thanks
