Abstract

Nowadays, BLDC motor is increasingly popular in high voltage and electrical fields today, due to its higher efficiency and cost, less maintenance and simpler design as well as mechanical and electrical characteristics. These motors now replace brushed DC motors and induction motors in different applications. MLI has been used more extensively in high voltage and control applications in recent years. There are problems with harmonic distortions in two phase inverters. One approach is to raise the stress steps. Multi-level inverters can do this. This paper tests the output of a brushless DC (Level 31) motor inverter in three phases. It will analyse the results. In conformity with the PI Controller, the proposed model is used for the variable phase reference signal. The cascaded Brushless DC multilevel inverter drive in Matlab / Simulink is finally implemented and the results are shown.
