About the Lab
The Electrical Machines Lab conducts research on finite element-based design of modern electrical machines for various applications and conducts undergraduate and postgraduate laboratory courses with practical demonstrations. Notable research includes a novel ferrite-based permanent magnet motor for an electric-assist campus bicycle, ultra-high efficiency SRM-based ceiling fan, a high-speed 50,000 rpm PCB coreless stator axial flux motor for centrifuge applications, a low-cost high-speed ferrite permanent magnet brushless DC motor for rural PV water pump applications, a permanent magnet brushless DC motor with sensorless control for mixer-grinder applications, and a brushed permanent magnet DC motor for open-well PV water pump applications.
