Abstract: In this paper we studied that by reducing the

I. INTRODUCTION
For the low and medium power applications Brushless motor
is an ideal motor for low and medium power application due
to high efficiency, energy, high ratio, low maintenance
requirement and in wide range speed control. In this motor
manufacturing is It a there phase motor with three phase
winding on the stator and permanent magnet on the rotor. It
is also known as electronically commutated motor as there
are no mechanical brushes and commutator assembly, rather
an electronic commutation based on rotor position which
sensed by hall effect sensor is used . It is having applications Fig.1. Conventional Circuit.
in wide range of household appliances, industrial tools,
heating, and ventilation and for air conditioning. In a
conventional scheme of Diode Bridge with high value of dc-
link capacitor fed BLDC motor drive. This combination
draws peaky current and leads to a very highly distorted
supply current and very low PF at the ac mains. If we can see
the conventional model for that we refer Fig.1a it is showing
Existing DBR fed BLDC motor drive and Figs.1b-d showing
the power quality indices for this conventional DBR fed
BLDC motor drive. To control the speed of the BLDC motor
is achieved by using the PWM (pulse width modulation)
based of Inverter switching, which having high switching
losses which are corresponding to the PWM switching
frequency. In this paper variable DC link voltage for the
speed of BLDC Motor concept is proposed This allows the
operation of VSI to achieve electronic commutation of
BLDC motor.

.Therefore, for a wide variation of speed, the dc-link voltage
has to be controlled from a very low value to rated value of
dc link voltage. The input voltage, Vs applied to the PFC

The output voltage, Vdc, of zeta converter which is a

where D represents the duty ratio. The duty ratio, D is

calculated by substituting the expression of Vin

(3)

Moreover, the speed of the BLDC motor is controlled

by varying the dc-link voltage of the VSI, hence the
instantaneous power, Pi at any dc-link voltage (Vdc) can be
taken as linear function of Vdc as

This expression exhibits a minimum value at the lowest

possible value of supply voltage for which the converter is
designed (Vsmin) which is taken as 170 V. Hence the critical

inductance for the two dc-link voltages (i.e. 200 and 50 V) at

peak of supply voltage (√2Vs) can be found as

Therefore, to achieve a discontinuous conduction at the

worst-case scenario of maximum dc-link voltage (i.e.

where VC1 is the voltage appearing across capacitor, C1.

Hence, by substituting the expressions of intermediate

VII. CONCLUSION
The speed of BLDC motor has been controlled by varying
the dc-link voltage of VSI via the PFC zeta converter. The
PFC zeta converter has been designed to operate in DICM,
which required a voltage follower for dc-link voltage
control. A single voltage sensor has been required for the
complete drive, which makes it a cost-effective solution.
Moreover, low-frequency switching pulses have been used
for electronically commutating the BLDC motor which
offers reduced switching losses in the VSI compared with
conventional scheme of PWM-based switching of VSI. The
