1. Introduction
Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drives are stabbing the market
in various consumer and industrial systems, such as home
appliances, computer peripherals, automotive applications,
and aerospace motor drives in recent years because of their
high efficiency, silent operation, high reliability, and low
maintenance requirement [13]. Power electronic converters
are being utilized for variable speed drives. The power rating
of the converter should meet the required level for the
machine and driven load. However, the converter ratings
cannot be increased over a certain range due to the limitation
on the power rating of semiconductor devices.
The advent of inverter fed motor drives also removed
the limits of the number of motor phases. This fact made it
possible to design machine with more than three phases and
brought about the increasing investigation and applications
of five-phase motor drives. Five-phase motor drives have
many advantages over the traditional three-phase motor
drives such as reducing the amplitude and increasing the

5. Conclusion
The software Maxwell 2D was adopted to establish the simulation model of five-phase brushless direct current motor
by finite element analysis. The transient and dynamic performance of the motor are accurately accomplished. Simulation
results show that the internal magnetic field distribution
is reflected accurately and also provides a theoretical basis
to make further optimal design. The main properties of
the motors include electromagnetic torque, speed, winding
induced voltage, and power loss, which can provide a reference to reduce torque ripple, improve the starting torque, and
make further optimal design of the motor. It is also shown
that the torque ripple in five-phase PMBLDC motor is low
compared to its three-phase counterparts. It is concluded that
the average torque produced in a five-phase motor running at
1500 rpm is 1.6 times the torque of a three-phase motor having
the same /, and the torque ripple of the five-phase motor
is 50.29% less than that of the three-phase motor. Though

the amount of torque ripple present in this analysis for threephase and five-phase motors is not desirable, this method of
analysis will enhance the theoretical understanding on motor
design and its impact on motor performance.
