BLDC Obj Questions

This set of multiple choice questions focuses on brushless DC (BLDC) motors. Some key points covered include: - The field winding in a BLDC motor is located on the rotor, unlike a conventional DC motor which has it on the stator. - BLDC motors can be controlled for both constant and variable torque operation through electronic circuitry. - BLDC motors have advantages over conventional DC motors like longer life, less maintenance, and no risk of explosion or RF radiation. However, they are more expensive. - Driver modules for BLDC motors use power transistors or MOSFETs rather than regular transistors to control the motor. - BLDC motors

his set of DC Machines Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses

on “BLDC Motors”.

1. In BLDC motor field winding is kept on _______________


a) Stator
b) Rotor
c) Can be placed anywhere
d) Absent
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Unlike conventional DC motor, BLDC motor has its field winding
rotating. Unlike PMDC motor field winding is present. Thus, it is placed on
rotor. In BLDC motor we have fixed commutators, with brush gear rotating
with speed of rotor field.

2. By electronic circuitry BLDC can be controlled for both constant and


variable torque operation.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: In BLDC because of rotor position feedback triggering of
thyristors/transistors, the stator and rotor field always remain in synchronism as
the frequency of triggering automatically adjusts to motor speed. The length of
on-time of the transistors determines motor torque magnitude.

3. Which of the following is not an advantage of BLDC motor over


conventional DC motor.
a) Less maintenance
b) Long life
c) No risk of explosion or possibility of RF radiation
d) Low cost
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The brushless DC motor being more expensive compare to DC
motor of same kW ratings, serves many other advantages like long life, less
maintenance, rapid response, linear characteristic, no sparking and many more.

4. In BLDC motor driver module, we do not require ______________


a) SCRs
b) Power transistors
c) FETs
d) Transistors
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The stator is connected to a variable voltage current source
through an inductor and an inverter comprising six SCRs (S1 to S6). In place of
SCRs, power transistor or FETs could be used according to power rating of the
motor.

5. In medical fields which DC motor is widely used?


a) PMDC
b) BLDC
c) Brushed DC motor
d) Cannot be determined
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: BLDC motors are widely used in various applications of medical
industry. Sensor less BLDC motor and with sensor BLDC motors are used
because of easy operation and high reliability compare to conventional motors.

6. Construction of BLDC is exactly similar to the ______________


a) Conventional DC motor
b) Induction motor
c) Permanent magnet synchronous motor
d) Totally different construction
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Construction of BLDC motor is exactly similar to the PMSM i.e.
permanent magnet synchronous motor. BLDC is considered as machine
working like DC with construction similar to the AC synchronous machine.

7. Typical brushless motor doesn’t have ______________


a) Commutator
b) Permanent magnet
c) Electronic controller
d) Fixed armature
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: A typical brushless motor has permanent magnets which rotate
around a fixed armature. An electronic controller replaces the brush-
commutator assembly of the brushed conventional DC motor, which continually
switches the phase to the windings to keep the motor turning.

8. BLDC can be used instead ____________


a) Synchronous motor
b) Normal brushed DC motor
c) Induction motor
d) Air motor
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Brushless motors fulfil almost all functions originally performed
by brushed DC motors, but cost and control complexity prevent brushless
motors from replacing brushed motors completely in the lowest-cost areas.
Brushless motors are now dominating many applications, particularly devices
such as computer hard drives and CD/DVD players.
