dc.description.abstractElectric motors are actively used in various industries. Acoustic noise is crucial in electric motors, and specific standards are depending on their application areas. Despite better performance, including acoustic noise, than brushed motors, brushless motors still generate acoustic noise due to their mechanical, electrical, and electronic components. This study investigated the impact of varying the switching frequency through the driver on the acoustic noise of an external rotor brushless DC motor. Tests were conducted on a surface-mounted magnet brushless motor with different switching frequencies, and detailed information about the sections of the control board governing the brushless motor was provided. The study includes measurements of motor speed, current, switching frequency, phase signal, and acoustic noise measured at two different locations in decibels. It was observed that the acoustic noise increased at specific switching frequencies. Furthermore, the variation in switching frequency also affected the heating due to losses in the switching elements. Increasing the switching frequency in the 12-28 kHz range reduced motor speed and the measured acoustic noise, while temperature increases were observed in various frequency ranges.
