A Driver for the Single-Phase Brushless DC Fan Motor With Hybrid Winding Structure

This paper mainly proposes a novel driver for a single-phase brushless dc fan motor with a hybrid series/parallel winding structure. The winding symbols and directions of the hybrid motor stator structure are defined, and the winding steps for the proposed series/parallel winding are explained. An adequate inverter driving circuit, which is capable to simultaneously obtain the advantages of the hybrid structure, is also discussed. At last, the overall system of this hybrid brushless dc motor with the proposed driving circuit is then implemented to verify the performance of the proposed driver and structure.
