The paper proposes a multiobjective optimization procedure for five-phase induction machines based on the NSGA-II (nondominated sorting genetic algorithm). In the optimization procedure, two objective functions are used (efficiency and cost of conductor material) along with 14 design variables, producing a large number of viable solutions. The design variables describe geometrical constraints, electrical and magnetic loading, and the waveshape of the airgap induction. The underlying analytical model of the machine includes the saturation of the iron parts and magnetic losses produced by higher space harmonic waves present in the airgap induction. The most relevant solutions regarding the objectives are validated through the finite element method, showing that the method proposed here is able to find practical solutions which represent a high efficiency, a reduced volume, or even a compromise between these objectives.
