Abstract

The accessory e.g. lamp for illumination of the hand-held instrument (L) and the excitation coils (B1-B3) of the brushless motor (M) are all supplied with current through a rotary connector (F) from a control circuit (C1) within a fixed part of the machine or power cable. Positive and negative supply lines (L1, L2) from a voltage source (S) feed three pairs of controlled transistor switches (CE1-CE3) whose midpoints (P1-P3) are wired to terminals (b1-b3) of the star-connected coils. The lamp is fed from a separate controlled switch (T4) wired to one (N1) of its terminals; the other (N2) is returned to the free terminal (b3) of one coil.

AC motor

An AC motor is an electric motor driven by an alternating current (AC). The AC motor commonly consists of two basic parts, an outside stator having coils supplied with alternating current to produce a rotating magnetic field, and an inside rotor attached to the output shaft producing a second rotating magnetic field. The rotor magnetic field may be produced by permanent magnets, reluctance saliency, or DC or AC electrical windings.

Brushless DC electric motor

A brushless DC electric motor (BLDC), also known as an electronically commutated motor, is a synchronous motor using a direct current (DC) electric power supply. It uses an electronic controller to switch DC currents to the motor windings producing magnetic fields that effectively rotate in space and which the permanent magnet rotor follows. The controller adjusts the phase and amplitude of the DC current pulses to control the speed and torque of the motor.

Electric motor

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates with a reversed flow of power, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
