Analysis of the Characteristics of a Six-phase Induction Motor

The paper includes a report on the preliminary results of six-phase induction motor tests. Using a power supply with more than three phases requires a slightly different approach in the motor design process. In theory, a six-phase induction motor design should be more resistant to the loss of power to one, two, or three phases. A numerical analyzis of selected operating states of an asymmetrical power supply to an induction motor was carried out. Verification of the numerical results was carried out under laboratory conditions.
