What are BLDC motors?
What are BLDC motors? They are made with permanent magnets driven by the windings in the stator. The principle is basically “rotate the magnet”. It is equipped with absolute position sensor, required for phase commutation. They do not employ brushes

Hysteresis-reluctance synchronous motor
Hysteresis-reluctance synchronous motor Hysteresis-reluctance motor is a hybrid salient pole rotor synchronous motor, the rotor of which is made of hard magnetic material with a large residual magnetization. The electric motor starts due to the eddy current torque and hysteresis torque and operates due to the hysteresis
