Abstract
An induction motor having five phases is disclosed. Adding two or more phases to existing 1, 2, and 3 phase designs can boost power, torque, and speed. This document describes a method of controlling a motor and an inverter through load, power, torque, or speed demands. Cooling applications for the system and various electronic filtering methods are also disclosed.
Claims1
A motor comprising:
- a stator having a first phase, a second phase, a third phase, a fourth phase, and a fifth phase, each phase producing a north or a south pole;
- a rotor configured to rotate in accordance with one of the phases of the stator;
- and
- a five-phase inverter configured to control the stator and rotor, the five-phase inverter having a plurality of upper and lower leg pairs, each leg pair configured to manage reverse power flow.
