Effect of stator winding configurations on operation of converter fed five-phase induction machine

Abstract

The influence of the voltage supply method and of the way of connecting a five-phase induction machine to a voltage-source inverter on the torque pulsations and on the harmonic distortion of the stator voltages and currents are investigated. Operation in star, pentagon and pentacle connections is considered. The method of symmetrical components of instantaneous quantities is used in the analysis of the machine.
