Dear All,

I am attempting to implement a sensor based brushless motor drive as a part of my MSc and have a few questions in that regard. First the details of the motor:

Supply voltage: 32V
Rated current:  1.5A

1. I plan to use a three phase inverter drive for the motor. I will be using IRFI540 power mosfets for this. These transistors have internal antiparallel diodes. What is the current capacity of these diodes? Will i need to install external free wheeling diodes?

2. Any hints as to how I should implement a break mechanism? I was thinking of powering up the transistors corresponding to the lookup table for rotating in the other direction. I think that this would have the same effect as reversing the voltage on a brushed permanent magnet DC motor. Will there be some problem with this?

Best regards,

Musharraf Hanif
