I all,
Quick question because I am very new to this and am doing some research before I bite off more than I can chew.
I am looking at building my own 3-phase Axial Flux Core-less motor. The current design incorporates 15 teeth and 16 pole-pairs. In another thread it was stated (where I listed 10 poles as an example):
But as you can see I need to know more about what sort of controllers are out there and if any will would be ideal for my motor.
Can someone please provide me with some insight...number's to look for, brands to pay attention to, or even let me know if the number of pole-pairs is too high to expect reasonable control. I can re-jig the numbers at the possible loss of performance if need be.
Any help would appreciated.
Regards,
- Matt

The poster went on to explain that Kelly controllers can provide up to 100,000 electric rpm. With 16 poles the motor could run a shade above 6000rpm. Still not fantastic but then again I have no idea about what sort of performance I am looking at currently - it's all still theoretical.The Curtis AC controllers for an example will only handle 300Hz, meaning 18 000 electric rpm. Since you have 10 pole pairs, this controller would limit you to only 1800 motor rpm.
