Abstract: This paper presents a Space Vector Modulation (SVM) method with a novel zero vector distribution system for electrical vehicle drives with a six-phase induction motor working under the Direct Field-Oriented Control (DFOC) method. Different SVM methods are described and compared, and a new approach with long vectors only and a special zero vector distribution, that compensates for the third harmonic component is proposed. The DFOC method is described and the influence of the applied modulation method on six-phase motor currents is shown. Results of our experimental studies on the DFOC method are presented and discussed. The proposed modulation method for a six-phase Voltage Source Inverter can be applied in fault-tolerant electrical vehicles.
