Laboratoire Plasma et Conversion d’Energie Mono inverter – Double Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor: Structure, Control Strategy during Normal and Faulty Operation D. Bidart – L. Chhun - M. Pietrzak-David - M. Fadel - P. Maussion Abstract This work presents an original study of a system composed by two PMSM connected in parallel to the same shared inverter. The chosen control strategy is the master slave configuration: only the master motor is controlled, the slave motor operating in open loop. Two different studies are presented: when both motors have to drive their own load and when the mechanical load is common and considered as totally rigid. For both studies, theoretical, simulation or experimental results are presented. Moreover, some results concerning the faulty operation modes are presented. This study has been valued by a patent (US Patent 2007/0273310 A1 Airbus-CNRS).
