Abstract
The paper deals with the influence of a loss of one phase of a feeding source on the properties of a five-phase induction machine. The attention is paid to the waveforms of the currents in individual stator phases, the increase in torque pulsations and the decrease of speed in emergency operation after the disconnection of a faulty phase of the source. Machines in star, pentagon and pentacle connections are taken into consideration. The conclusions of the theoretical analysis are verified experimentally.
