Abstract :

In late 1970�s the first five–phase induction motor drive system was proposed for adjustable speed drive applications. Since then, a considerable research effort has been made to develop a commercially feasible multiphase drive systems. Thus, this paper proposes a transformer connection scheme to convert the three– phase grid supply to a multi phase i.e., five phase fixed voltage and fixed frequency supply. The proposed transformer connection outputs five phases and can be used in applications equiring a five–phase supply. The five–phase transmission system can be investigated further as an efficient solution for bulk power transfer. The connection scheme is elaborated by using the simulation to prove the viability of the implementation.
