A fault tolerant control strategy for dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (DTP-PMSM) with 0° phase shifting between two windings is proposed in this paper. When a DTP-PMSM suffers from single-or two-phase open-circuit fault, to maintain the torque performance, current in faulty phase must be compensated by other healthy phases, which causes asymmetric self-and mutual inductances. Therefore, the 2 nd harmonic component can be observed in the dq-axis currents and torque ripple also increases. To analyse this harmonic component in two types of faults, post-fault model of no-phase-shifting DTP-PMSM based on vector space decomposition (VSD) method is built in this paper. Then, proportionintegral-resonant (PIR) controller which can be used to suppress the specific periodic disturbance is applied to compensate the 2 nd harmonic components. As the resonant controller is rarely dependent on motor parameters, phase and amplitude of current harmonic, the PIR controller can be applied in no-phase-shifting DTP-PMSM to suppress the harmonic caused by single-and two-phase open-circuit faults. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed fault tolerant control under single-and two-phase opencircuit faulty conditions.
