We previously proposed a six-phase pole change induction motor (six-phase PCIM) for electric vehicles (EVs), and have presented its operating principle and steady state characteristics. The six-phase PCIM expands the constant power operation range using the pole change technique without mechanical contactors; therefore it possesses superb characteristics for miniaturizing EV driving systems. This paper proposes a new analysis method for the six-phase PCIM in order to derive basic equations which can be used to analyze transient phenomena caused by pole change and to create control methods. First, a "six-phase tensor-transformed rotational d-q axis" is defined and its physical meaning made clear. By using this axis, voltage and torque equations which can uniformly deal with the steady state and transient states is derived. Next, we compare measured and simulated results of voltage, current, and torque characteristics in steady state and in transient states at the pole change operation and both-pole dual operation. Through these comparisons, the validity of our theory and its effectiveness to performance analysis and application to the control method for the six-phase PCIM is discussed in detail.
