Summary This article narrates a robust sensor‐less indirect rotor field‐oriented control (IRFOC) of a six‐phase asymmetrical induction motor (SPAIM) drive with an online estimation of parameters and reduction of common mode voltage (CMV). In comparison to the conventional IRFOC technique, the proposed IRFOC provides the least CMV using modified space vector modulation (SVM). To guarantee proper operation of IRFOC, accurate estimation of rotor time constant is mandatory; any mismatch in the actual and tuned value may lead to poor performance of the IRFOC algorithm. This problem will be further accelerated with encoder‐less control using model‐based estimators. In this manuscript, the problem of simultaneous estimation of speed and machine parameters is investigated, and a model reference adaptive system (MRAS) based speed estimator accompanied by online estimation of parameters is proposed to improve sturdiness against variation of parameters. A Simulink model of the proposed method is developed and a simulation study is carried out. To validate the simulation results, a scaled prototype model of The SPAIM rated for 2 HP, 200 V is developed and encoder‐less IRFOC for the SPAIM drives is implemented using an STM32F407VG controller board. The performance of the proposed observers is tested and verified for all the possible operating conditions and results are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
