2-7-4. Characteristics of sine wave control in case of brushless DC motor
●
Although ordinary 3-phase induction motor requires energy to excite the magnetic fi eld of rotor, brushless DC motor does not
need it. So, higher effi ciency and torque are provided.
●
This control provides the most effi cient waveform corresponding to the rotational speed of compressor motor.
●
The rotation can be set to higher compared to the conventional motor drive system. So, the time in which air conditioner can
be operated with less energy is longer than conventional models. This can save annual electric consumption.
●
Compared to square wave control, the torque pulsation is reduced at rotation so that the motor operates more quietly.
●
Since the response and effi ciency of motor are enhanced in sine wave control, fi ner adjustment can be provided.

In brushless DC motor, permanent magnet is embedded in the rotor. Therefore, it does not require energy to excite the rotor
like AC motor does. However, it is necessary to control the frequency of 3-phase AC current supplied to the stator accord-
ing to the polar direction of magnet embedded in the rotor so as to drive the motor effi ciently. Controlling 3-phase AC current
frequency also means controlling the timing to switch the polarity of stator. Therefore, the polar direction of rotor needs to be
detected.
2-7-5. Control Method of Rotational speed
Sine wave control makes the current transformers conduct real time detection of the value of the current running into the mo-
tor, locates the rotor position from the detected value, and decides if voltage should be impressed and if frequency should be
changed.
Compared to the conventional control and rotor position detection method, sine wave control can provide fi ner adjustment of the
voltage of supplied power. The value of the current running into the motor is determined by each motor characteristic.

2-7-3. Sine wave control
In these air conditioners, compressor equips brushless DC motor which does not have Hall element.
In short, the motor is sensorless. However, it is necessary to locate the polar direction of rotor in order to drive brushless DC mo-
tor effi ciently. The general detection method of the polar direction for such a DC motor is to locate it from the voltage induced by
unenergized stator.
Therefore, it is necessary to have a certain period of time in which the stator is being unenergized for the rotor position detection
when the voltage of supplied power is impressed.
So the motor has been driven by square wave control (the conventional motor drive system) which energizes the motor only
when the range of electrical angle is within 120° because it is forced to be unenergized within 30° at start & end of one heap in
one waveform cycle (180°) when the voltage is impressed.
However, torque pulsation occurs at rotation in this method when the current-carrying phases are switched over to other phases
in sequence. Therefore, sine wave control system is adopted for these air conditioners because it can make the phase-to-phase
current waveform smoother (sine wave) in order to drive the motor more effi ciently and smoothly.
