Abstract

Multiphase Induction machine offers numerous advantages compared to the conventional three phase induction machine. Among the different types, the six-phase induction machine is most common, due to the flexibility in converting a three phase to six phase. By splitting the phase belt of a three phase induction machine, a six-phase induction machine is realized. The areas of application of multiphase (>3) machines are enormous, mostly where reliability is paramount. This paper presents the analysis, modeling and simulation of a 5Hp, 50HZ, 4 pole, 24 slots asymmetrical six-phase induction machine for submarine application. With the help of MATLAB software, the models developed are simulated and results in the form of computer traces of the dynamic performance of the machine at start-up are presented and discussed. This investigation shows that the replacement of three phase with a six phase machine is both technically and economically advantageous.
