Abstract-This paper presents the Speed Control of 5-Phase Induction Motor Drive using Model Reference Adaptive System. Multiphase motors provides lower torque pulsation, reduced current per phase without increasing the voltage per phase, reduced harmonic current, greater reliability, fault tolerance and minimal de-rating at occurrence of fault. A detailed Model Reference Adaptive System of 5-phase drive is elaborated in this paper. This method is an effective speed estimation technique that involves relatively easy implementation with high speed of adaptation over a wide range of applications. A dq-axis model of five phase induction motor fed by a five-phase inverter is developed and the proposed MRAS-based sensor less vector control drive has been simulated and results are presented to illustrate its performance.
