Question:

how does the wiring of a brushless motor work (light weight for a plane)?

I was just wondering what the 3 wire connected to. is there anyway to run that motor without the control system (or the circut board that i cannot remember the name of at the moment) that attaches to the battery.thanks, if you have any diagrams that would get you a best answer!!thanks again

Answer:

These motors will not work without the control board. The motor is actually a 3 phase AC motor, the control board provides the battery conversion to 3 phase, and varies the supply frequency for speed control. So each wire is connected to a separate winding in the motor. I don't know whether the windings are connected in a star or delta configuration, though. Maybe either might be used. There are brushless DC motors about, but generally only low power ones. They only have 2 wires. The necessary switching functions usually done by carbon or metal brushes, are done by internal electronics instead. They are common in motors such as computer fans.
