Aluminium grade used for the aluminium pressure die Figure 7 shows the photograph of the developed motor and
casting method is LM24. Rotor back core is made of REMKO Fig. 8 shows the analyzed ceiling fan test set up with the

boron (Nd-Fe-B) halbach magnet is press fitted to the rotor
back iron. Loctite adhesive is used in between casing and rotor
back iron and also between back iron and magnet.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
Design and development of a single-phase PM BLDC
motor based on virtual proto-type concept has been carried
out. This approach helps to prevent manufacturing multiple
proto types and reduces the product development cycle time.
The developed motor gives better performance than the
conventional single-phase induction motor used in such
ceiling fans. The efficiency has been increased from 30 % to
50%. As the motor is a single-phase one, the cost of the drive
circuit will also be less and the motor overall cost will be
comparable to that of the single-phase induction motor. It is
found that the developed motor gives performance fairly
matching with the calculated results.
