Abstract

This paper describes how an experimental test rig, a multiphase power converter drive and its control have been used to emulate failures (of the converter and machine) and control strategies to study a way of achieving fault tolerant drive systems employed especially in Aerospace applications. Experimental results which validate simulation of the emulated faults are presented.
