Electrical Machinery

Last semester given: 2022-23 Fall

Textbook: “Electrical Machinery Fundamentals”, S.J. Chapman, McGraw-Hill, 4. Edition (2005)

CAD tool: Comsol to simulate magnetic fields in electrical machinery

In the 2022-2023 Fall Semester, students developed the VHDL code to drive a BLDC motor without Hall Effect sensor feedback. Basys 3 board is used to develop the code. An electronic board between the Basys3 and the motor provided the interface. The 7-segment display of the board showed the actual speed of the motor, while the switches on the board determined the desired speed of the motor. Almost all students were able to complete the project fully.
