Abstract: To obtain the high dynamic performance and smooth thrust force after open-circuit and short-circuit faults occurrence, a novel unified fault-tolerant vector control（UFT-VC） for five phase tubular permanent magnet motor（TPMM） was proposed. According to the fault-tolerant currents of the remaining healthy phases, a new reduced-order orthogonal transformation matrix was derived. Based on the relationship between the short-circuit current and its fault-phase back electromotive force, a voltage compensator was designed. Then, a unified mathematic model was built when TPMM was with open-circuit or short-circuit fault.Finally, the reduced-order orthogonal transformation matrix was used to substitute for the Clarke’s matrix, and the voltage compensator was added in the two-phase stationary frame.Therefore, the high steady-state and dynamic performances can be achieved, and also the strategy is easy to implement. The validated results of experiments demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed strategy.
