Influence of space harmonics on properties of six-phase induction machine - Part II. simulation and experiments

The experimental verification of the results of the mathematical analysis of a six-phase induction machine is presented in this paper. The verification is based on the measurement of the currents and torques at the feeding of stator winding by voltages which correspond only to a selected symmetrical component. The measured values are compared with the results of theoretical calculations. A single-phase short-circuit is simulated as an example of unbalanced feeding. Also in this case, the simulated currents are compared with measured currents.
