Abstract

Earlier the production of multiphase system was a challenging task, but with the advance in the ratings of power semiconductor switches it turned to be effortless through inverters. The main cause for developing multi-phase system is that, it has some dominant features over the conventional three phase system. In order to obtain a five phase supply a specially connected transformer is proposed instead of an inverter. The induction motor (five phase) feed by the five phase output of the specially connected transformer. The performance of the motor is analyzed under balanced as well as unbalanced supply conditions and also under stator fault conditions.
