Hey howdy,  
I am a new member from Istanbul Turkey, and I am confused about something I might use some help… I have a UQM powerphase 150 traction system, on the spec. sheet it says “permanent magnet brusless” motor… I am really new in game so what i wanted to ask is; is this motor a brushless DC or synchronous permanent magnet motor? I am really confused which control system to design for this particular motor… I was planning to use vector control in case it is a synchronous motor…  
This is a great forum BTW hope to hear from you soon

best regards
