Control of Three-Phase Induction Machine Drives During Open-Circuit Fault: A Review

ABSTRACT

Three-Phase Induction Machines (TPIMs) are widely used in industrial drive systems. The popularity of TPIMs is due to their simplicity, robustness, low size and cost. In harsh industrial environments, due to extra electrical, magnetic, and thermal stresses, different faults in TPIMs can happen. One of the challenging subjects for many researchers is the development of control methods for TPIMs during fault conditions. Open-circuit fault in the stator windings of TPIMs is one of the most common types of faults in industrial drive systems. The aim of this research is to present a review on existing control methods for TPIM drives during open-circuit fault. These control methods are classified based on Magneto-Motive Force (MMF), Transformation Matrices (TMs), and harmonic injection. An overall description of each method is discussed and a comprehensive list of references is reported for each method. This review provides some recommendations on different control strategies for the research and development of TPIM drives during open-circuit fault.
