Abstract

In this paper multi-phase induction drive with a

frequency converter is researched under open phase fault

condition. Control strategy of stator voltage phase shift is

proposed for dealing with over-currents during steady state.

Symmetry of stator current trajectory is achieved. Experiments

with six-phase induction motor without a neutral wire under one

open phase condition were carried out.

Keywords
