ABSTRACT

The direct-phase variable model is used for the analysis of the three-phase and the five-phase induction motors. The machines are modeled to start directly on-line. The use of the phase-variable model has aided the monitoring of the machine performance characteristics for each phase during loading, fault and unbalanced conditions. MATLAB/SIMULINK software is used for the analysis and implementation of the model. The machine parameters of speed, torque, phase currents and are presented and compared on start and when loaded. The three-phase and the five-phase Induction machine performance characteristics are compared for a better performance.
