Torque Ripples Suppression for Six-Phase Induction Motors Under Open Phase Faults

This paper introduces a new disturbance free operation method for six-phase induction motors. The machine is supposed to loss one or more phases and to have a pulsating torque. In order to improve the motor torque, we propose a new control law satisfying a condition required to have a smooth torque. The simulation and experimental results illustrate the validity and the efficiency of the proposed method for disturbance free operation of six-phase induction machines
