This paper deals with fault tolerant multiphase electrical drives. The quality of the torque of vector-controlled Permanent Magnet (PM) Synchronous Machine supplied by a multi-leg Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is examined in normal operation and when one or two phases are open-circuited. It is then deduced that a seven-phase machine is a good compromise allowing high torque-to-volume density an...

A two level fault tolerant voltage sourse inverter(VSI) for permanent magnetic drives is designed and tested. Generally a two level inverter consists of three legs. In this case an extra (redundant ) leg is added that replaces the fault leg. Extra leg is added by using by back to back connected thyristor this inverter works on both open circuit and short circuit fault. The main advantage is pos...
