Comparative Investigations of Inverter Short-Circuit Fault and Winding Terminal Short-Circuit Fault in Open-End Winding Five-Phase PM Machine System

The open-end winding multi-phase permanent-magnet (PM) machine driven by full-bridge inverter is a potential choice for safety-critical application fields. Based on the open-end winding multi-phase PM machine system, comparative investigations of the inverter short-circuit (ISC) fault and winding terminal short-circuit (WSC) fault are carried out to indicate the special characteristics of the ISC ...
