A new class of electronically commutated brushless motors, the flux-switching motor (FSM), is gradually emerging for use in power tools and household appliances especially fan and pump application thanks to green policies, This motor offers such advantages as high-power density and relatively high efficiency compare to induction motors, and low cost and simple motor structure compare to the BLDC motor. This paper presents the principle of the FSM and design of the 12/6 pole FSM drive system for fan application. Test results of the prototype motor are provided to verify the validity of the fan application with a TMS320F2812 DSP and inverter.
