Regarding the three-phase induction motor if one phase of the motor or inverter were opened, a divided DC bus and neutral connections would be required so that the currents in the other 2 phases are controlled independently. By the above a zero sequence component is necessary in a three-phase induction motor to provide an undisturbed rotation after one phase is opened. But in the 5-phase drive the event of losing 1 or 2 legs of the inverter or motor phases, the 5-phase induction motor an operate continuously and steadily with the remaining four phase or three phase connections. Simulation is done in MATLAB and results are attached. Keywords: Vector control;asymmetrical connection;mathematical modeling MATLAB
