To reduce the torque ripple and speed fluctuation of the machine, we investigate an exponential response electrical pole-changing method for five-phase IM with a current sliding-mode control strategy. This control strategy employs the dual-plane （dr-q1 and d2-q2） vector control method, which allows the IM to operate under different pole modes. Current sliding-mode controllers are applied instead of conventional proportional integral （PI） controllers to adjust the current vectors, and exponential current response achieves a smooth transition between the d1-q1 and d2-q2 planes. Compared with the step response pole-changing with PI control method, the proposed pole-changing method greatly reduces the torque ripple and speed fluctuation of the IM during the pole-changing process. Experimental results verify the ex- ceptional performance of the proposed electrical pole-changing strategy.展开更多
