    Abstract: An electric blower system is described. The blower system includes a blower, an airflow system, a sensor, and an electric motor. The electric motor includes a motor controller. The motor controller is configured to operate the motor at a first torque and a first speed to generate a first airflow, determine a first airflow value wherein the first airflow value, the first torque, and the first speed define a first benchmark data point. The motor controller is also configured to operate the motor at a second torque and a second speed to generate a second airflow and determine a second airflow value wherein the second airflow value, the second torque, and the second speed define a second benchmark data point. The motor controller is further configured to generate an operating profile for the blower system defining torque, speed, and airflow points for different system resistances.

    Abstract: A blower has a blower housing of clamshell construction, including two housing members having a scroll back wall molded with radial draft, an impeller and a motor within the housing, and a static tap connected to the housing. The impeller has a backplate with a backplate back surface region of substantially the same radially converging shape as that of a front surface region of the scroll back wall formed by the radial draft, providing a substantially uniform axial gap between the backplate back surface region and the scroll back wall. The impeller has a ring connected by a skirt to the back plate to define a stepped area behind the ring. The impeller includes impeller blades extending forwardly from the impeller backplate and the ring and back fins extending rearwardly from the ring. The blower has a scroll width of about twice an impeller exhaust width.

    Abstract: A method of assembling an electric motor includes coupling a rotor hub to a rotor disk to form a rotor assembly and slidably coupling the rotor hub to a shaft at a first position. The method also includes coupling a stator assembly to the shaft to define a first axial gap between the stator assembly and the rotor assembly. The method further includes sliding the rotor assembly to a second position along the shaft to define a second axial gap between the stator assembly and the rotor assembly. The second position is based on a measured back EMF constant of the electric motor when the rotor assembly is in the second position.

    Abstract: A circuit for detecting a status of a ground connection in an electric motor includes a rectifier, a converter, a voltage conditioning circuit, a leakage circuit, and a comparator. The rectifier couples to an AC line within the motor and generates a first DC voltage. The converter steps-down the first DC voltage to a second DC voltage. The voltage conditioning circuit couples to the converter, leakage circuit, and comparator, and generates a reference DC voltage signal and a leakage voltage from the second DC voltage. The leakage circuit includes an impedance coupled to ground, and applies the leakage voltage to the impedance and generates a measurement signal representing a leakage current through the impedance to ground. The comparator couples to the leakage circuit and generates a logic signal, indicating a status of the ground connection, based on a voltage difference between the reference DC voltage signal and the measurement signal.
