Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9610863A1] A dual mode controller for a brushless DC motor provides driving signals to an electronic commutator in two distinctly different modes defined by a predetermined transition speed. An encoder supplies motor position signals to the controller for use in generating the driving signals. At speeds below the transition speed the driving signals are generated in phase with the position signals. At speeds above the transition speed the phase of the driving signals is substantially advanced. This reduces the back EMF in the stator windings and substantially increases the maximum no-load speed of the motor.
