| Abstract |
Advancements in power electronics, energy storage, and embedded systems have resulted in electricmachines becoming increasingly prevalent in medium-to-large power applications. In safety criticalapplications, such as transport, there is a greater emphasis placed on the fault tolerance of these machines. This paper looks at a five phase BLDC machine with independent control of each phase through the use of individual converters to drive each phase. A new technique for fault mitigation has been developed and simulated which utilises this converter topology for intrinsic zero-sequence injection in the event of a single open-phase fault. |
