This document presents the results obtained from the application of the law of Lens to correctly identify the polarity of the windings in a three-phase motor with 6 exposed terminals, when the corresponding labeling is not in any situation; Prior to identifying the polarity, it should be considered to have the pairs of the three windings located. For the polarity, it is proposed to feed with a voltage of 12 Vrms to one of the windings, which are identified randomly as W1 and W2, where W1 is connected to the voltage phase of 12 Vrms of the signal and W2 to the voltage reference to 0V; by means of voltage induction and considering the law of Lens, the remaining 4 terminals can be identified and labeled as V1, V2, U1 and U2. For this process a microcontroller and control elements with low cost are used.

This Research paper proposes a low cost four switch three phase inverter (FSTPI) fed brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive for Active power factor correction for residential applicationswith out environmental issues. This proposed system is simplified the topological structure of the conventional six switch three phase inverter (SSTPI) and includes an active power factor correction in front end rectifier which results in sinusoidal input current and it closed to unity power factor. In this project a new structure of four switch three phase inverter with reduced number of switches for system is introduced. This system consists of single phase rectifier and four switch three phase inverter. This proposed inverter fed BLDC motor used in Sensorless control schemes. To improve sensorless control performance, six commutation modes based on direct current controlled PWM scheme is implemented to produced the desire Torque-Speed characteristics. This four switch three phase inverter is achieved by the reduction of switches, low cost control and saving of hall sensor. The design and implementation of low cost four switch inverter for Brushless motor drive with active power factor correction  have been conducted successfully and valediction  of the proposed sensorless control for four switch three phase inverter fed BLDC motor drive is developed and analysed using both  MATLAB/SIMULINK and hardware results  are verified out successfully.
