RT Journal Article T1 DC-signal injection for stator-resistance estimation in symmetrical six-phase induction motors under open-phase fault A1 Gómez Yepes, Alejandro A1 Abdel-Majeed, Mahmoud Said A1 Che, Hang Seng A1 Abdel-Khalik, Ayman Samy A1 Ahmed, Shehab A1 Doval Gandoy, Jesús K1 3307 Tecnología Electrónica AB Multiphase machines are often chosen due to theirenhanced fault tolerance. Six-phase ones are especially convenientbecause they may be fed by off-the-shelf three-phase converters.In particular, those with symmetrical windings offer superiorpostfault capabilities. On the other hand, estimation of the statorresistance is important for purposes such as thermal monitoringand preserving control performance. Resistance estimation by dcsignal injection provides low sensitivity to parameter deviationscompared with other techniques. It has previously been shownthat the dc signal can be added in the non-torque-producing (xy) plane of a six-phase machine to avoid the torque disturbancesthat typically arise in three-phase machines. However, extendingthis method to the case of an open-phase fault (OPF) is notstraightforward, because of the associated current restrictions.This paper addresses dc-signal injection in a symmetrical sixphase induction motor with an OPF. It is shown that, in contrastto healthy operation, the postfault dc injection should be carefullyperformed so that minimum copper loss, peak phase currentand zero-sequence braking torque are achieved. A solution thatattains optimum performance in all these aspects simultaneouslyis proposed. Adapted controller and resistance estimation arealso presented.
