Starting and high-speed driving of single-phase flux-reversal motor for vacuum cleaner

This paper proposes the single-phase flux-reversal motor for a vacuum cleaner. The circuit parameters are determined by using both finite-element method and experimental measurements while a simulation was done by using an equivalent circuit model to derive the dynamic characteristics. Due to the inductance of the coil of high-speed drives, a phase difference occurs between the current and the electromotive force which produces a negative torque that degrades the output. Through simulation, the turn-on angle and turn-off angle that minimize the negative torque are found and simulation results will be compared with the results of the experiment.
