A comparative analysis of different conduction modes in VSI with five phase induction motor

Abstract

The electrical machines with increased number of phases are being used in industry because of their reliableness, firmness, and safeness comparing with 3-phase induction machines and direct current machines. This paper compares the performance of a Five phase Induction Motor with different conduction modes such as 180°, 144°, 153°, and 171° in five phase voltage source Inverter. A comparison is made between characteristics of a five phase Induction motor with different loadings from no load to full load. The system is simulated considering an inverter fed to a mathematical model of five phase Induction motor. The advantages of multiphase induction motor have been analyzed and results of performance characteristics of a five phase induction motor are demonstrated.
