This document discusses brushless DC motors. It explains that brushless DC motors are synchronous motors that use electronic commutation instead of brushes to create the rotating magnetic field. Hall sensors detect the rotor position and the commutation circuit controls current to the stator windings accordingly. Brushless DC motors have advantages like higher efficiency, longer life, and no sparking compared to brushed DC motors. They find applications in devices like electric vehicles, industrial equipment, appliances and consumer electronics.
