Brushless Motor

Course outline
Very simply, there are two kinds of DC motors: brushed, with mechanical contacts, and brushless, which do not have contacts. Both have their roles, but that of brushless motors is much bigger and they are much more versatile. In brushless motors, an electronic circuit switches current, and it can be precisely controlled with a semiconductor. This contributes to a high level of efficiency that reduces energy consumption, and makes the motors suitable for a wide range of applications. This course introduces the basic knowledge needed understand the control of brushless motors, and also covers comparison with brushed DC motors.
