Brushless DC (BLDC) motors and derives have gained popularity because of numerous advantages. This motor application is achievable since permanent magnet (PM) technology has advanced. It has higher efficiency, reliability, and power with less maintenance due to the absence of brushes. A higher torque-to-mass ratio and long life are two of the most attractive characteristics making it appropriate for high-performance applications. This study describes the hybrid methodology for analyzing a three-phase, four-pole, 1500 W, brushless DC (BLDC) motor with an inner rotor. PI controllers and PWM in Matlab /Simulink, and the chopped current control in Maxwell 2d ae used. BLDC motor modeled by rotation machine export (RMxprt) analytical software and analyzed with a finite element method (FEM) Maxwell 2D software to calculate motor performance, such as torque, speed, and efficiency. The FEM results were verified by comparing them with the results taken from the Matlab/Simulink program and with the aid of the RMxprt software to supply some missing data. The motor torque and efficiency results from Maxwell 2D and Matlab show good agreement. A hybrid FEM-analytical approach is successfully applied to study a BLDC motor using three software packages RMxprt, Maxwell 2D, and Matlab/Simulink despite the lack of motor test data. The RMxprt program offers missing data like stator resistance, stator inductance, and torque constant. It is provided in the design sheet to help us with motor modeling. The successful adoption of the proposed hybrid FEM-analytical methodology will provide a good starting point for future BLDC motor research work
