This paper introduces a new method to track the saturation saliency for position measurement of
a five-phase PMSM motor fed by a five-phase inverter through measuring the dynamic current response of
the motor line currents due to the IGBT switching actions. The new method uses only the fundamental
PWM waveform obtained using the multi-phase space vector pulse width modulation (i.e there is no
modification to the operation of the five-phase inverter) similar to the fundamental PWM method proposed
for a three-leg inverter. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy
for saliency tracking of a five-phase PMSM motor driven by five-phase inverter over a wide speed ranges
under different load conditions.
