MULTI-PHASE SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR SOLUTION FOR STEERING APPLICATIONS

This paper presents the analysis of a six-phase permanent magnet synchronous machine dedicated for electrical power steering system applications. The motor design is briefly described, as well as the construction of the studied motor. The study is validated by finite element method and via experimental results. Some simulated results prove the machineʹs capability to work in faulty conditions. The machines performances are validated experimentally though scalar control.
