Abstract

A control system for an M-phase a.c. machine which measures the currents in at least (M-N) phases, where N=2 if M is even and N=1 if M is uneven, measures the instantaneous values of the voltages in (M-N) phases and obtains control signals for alteration of the input voltage and/or current to the motor to maintain the motor in an efficient running condition.
