Conclusions Novel 6-phase motor is designed and developed to enhance safety and availability of power train drive. The motor is inherently fault tolerant. Loss of one 3-phase system does not result into complete loss of traction power. The new motor configuration exhibits high efficiency over a wide speed range, which is one of the key requirement for EV traction. Series of experimental measurements on a prototype motor and inverter have validated the novel fault-tolerant motor.
