2.5A Sensored BLDC

Designed a compact 2.5A sensored BLDC control module using an STM32G0B1CEU6 and DRV8313PWPR for PWM commutation. Separated analog/digital/motor power domains with ferrite-bead isolation and tight decoupling, and routed controlled high-current paths validated with DRC.

Overcurrent Relay Protection

Built a MATLAB simulation of an IEC standard inverse-time overcurrent relay for a 13.8 kV feeder (CT 300:5), generating TCC curves and validating trip behavior for 3-phase, line-to-line, and single-line-to-ground faults.
