This paper discusses systematic efficiency considering the efficiency of both a motor and airflow in an inverter-driven single-phase brushless direct-current (BLDC) motor with two different lamination designs for a cordless vacuum cleaner. In other words, multi-physical lamination design has to be conducted, and hence, the shape and placement of a whole electromagnetic structure are investigated in terms of a tradeoff between the electrical and mechanical efficiencies. In this paper, a single-phase BLDC motor for cordless vacuum cleaners is designed to satisfy starting and continuous torques by means of asymmetric air gap, and fluid analysis is performed to determine which shape of a single-phase BLDC motor has better system efficiency. The prototype of a single-phase BLDC motor has been tested, and the speed of the operation is ranged from 84468 r/min up to the rated speed of 100020 r/min. The motor efficiency of 94.7% has been measured to verify a good match with the estimated efficiency of 94.5%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
