A six-phase motor with a high degree of freedom can be converted into a three-phase motor in order to be used in a traction system. In addition, when phase-change technology is applied, it is possible to establish an efficient control strategy tailored to the driving environment of the EVs. Therefore, in this paper, a down-scaled 3 kW permanent-magnet-assisted synchronous motor (PMa-SynRM) capable of phase switching was designed, and its driving states in controlled fault modes were analyzed through experiments. The PMa-SynRM selected for this study was a machine that had good fault-tolerance capabilities and was less expensive than an IPMSM with the same performance; it was designed using the lumped-parameter method (LPM) having a fast calculating speed and a genetic algorithm. In addition, the effectiveness of the optimal design was verified by comparing the analytical results of the FEM and the LPM. Lastly, a phase switching experiment was conducted to analyze the steady-state and transient-state characteristics, and the results are presented.
