Abstract—This paper presents design, simulation and analysis of three phase BLDC motor for automotive applications. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of the BLDC motor is done to confirm the flux linkage characteristics of the design. The proposed BLDC motor is designed and simulated using FEA based design software tool MotorSolve. Simulation results from the design software tool focuses on the torque and magnetic flux density distribution. The BLDC motor is modelled using MATLAB/ SIMULINK and the dynamic characteristics of PMBLDC motor are monitored.
