Learn the fundamentals of brushless DC motors (BLDC motors)
by from IEEE Spectrum on (#5B6JR)

Machines ranging from simple devices to complex equipment make use of brushless DC motors that convert electrical energy into rotational motion.
Basics of BLDC motors include:
- A comparison of brushed and brushless DC motors
- Simulating BLDC motors to observe the back-EMF profile
- Six-step commutation
- Motor inner workings and torque generation
- How three-phase inverters work
