A Novel Three-Layer Symmetry Winding Configuration for Five-Phase Motor.

This paper presents a new three-layer, five-phase winding configuration theory of unconventional slot-pole combinations by each layer of winding for a phase vector correction, three layers of winding superimposed together to achieve the results of three-phase symmetry. Since the single-layer unconventional winding has to have an empty slot to meet its symmetry, based on the characteristics of single-layer winding, the unconventional winding design is carried out. Based on the simulation comparison between the single-layer unconventional winding and double-layer unconventional winding, a three-layer, nine-phase unconventional winding is proposed, which is based on the theory of single-layer unconventional winding, and three layers are staggered and stacked to realize nine-phase winding, which not only increases the utilization rate of the winding slot but also improves the fault tolerance performance. In addition, a 105-slot, 20-pole, three-layer, five-phase motor is proposed for a winding configuration and performance analysis to achieve both low torque pulsation and high fault tolerance.
