BLDC (brushless direct current) motor BPM (brushless permanent magnet) motor DC (direct current) inverter IPM (interior permanent magnet) motor SPM (surface permanent magnet) motor EC (electronic controlled) motor Different NAMES for the SAME technology 3rd EHPA European Heat Pump Forum | Brussels | 20.05.2010 Page 3 Why BLDC inverter compressors? Electric motor evolution: • AC asynchronous induction motor Both compatible with standard on-off technology and inverter use Good performances only for motors developed specifically for inverter use Energy waste due to the need to create the rotor magnetic field • DC brushless motor (SPM) The rotor is a permanent magnet, there no energy waste The magnets of SPM motors need to be fixed on the rotor surface using adhesive, high speed is not allowed • DC brushless motor (IPM) The magnets of SPM motors are inside the rotor Highest efficiency and performances High speed Requires a top level BLDC inverter 3rd EHPA European Heat Pump Forum | Brussels | 20.05.2010 Page 4 The motor structures of the IM (induction motor), SPM (Surface permanent magnets, IPM (Interior permanent magnets) Comparison table of IM, SPM and IPM motors 3rd EHPA European Heat Pump Forum | Brussels | 20.05.2010 Page 5 Why BLDC inverter compressors?
