Abstract

The methods for starting a Hall-less single-phase BLDCM having an asymmetrical air gap are proposed. The provided methods are employed to input a specific amount of current impulse and stop the current impulse at a specific time such that the rotor of the single-phase BLDCM having an asymmetrical air gap can be realized to rotate in the pre-determined direction through one of the cogging torque and the rotor inertia after that specific time so as to accomplish the normal starting of a motor without the Hall-effect sensor.
