Scalar control of six-phase induction motor

Abstract

Paper presents MATLAB Simulink model of symmetrical six-phase motor controlled by six-phase frequency converter and analyses its dynamic performance in volts per hertz mode. The new control blocks were elaborated, because Simulink library has no blocks for six-phase motor control. The new reference frame transform blocks were designed for six-phase motor. The experimental stand to validate simulation results was designed and elaborated. Simulation results, compared with experiments indicated good adequacy of designed model.
