The objective of this paper is to implement an ac link universal power converter controlled BLDC motor for medical applications. The ac link universal power converter is a soft switched high frequency ac link converter, created using the parallel combination of an inductor and a capacitor. The parallel ac link converter handle the ac voltages and currents with low reactive ratings at the link and offers improved power factor, low power consumption, more efficiency and less weight on comparison with the traditional dc link converter. Because of the high throughput, BLDC motors are preferred widely medical applications. A modulation technique called Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) is used to generate the three phase power for the BLDC motors from the input DC supply. To validate the proposed system, simulations are performed in MATLAB – Simulink and an experimental prototype is constructed to supplement the simulation results.
