This paper presents the field-oriented control (FOC) of a five-phase induction motor (FPIM) fed from a three-to-five phase direct matrix converter (DMC). The article focuses on the modulation and control of the three-to-five phase DMC, which discusses minimizing the problems associated with switching vector selection, sector identification, switching sequence selection, and dwell-time calculations. The DMC is controlled from the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique, eliminating the x-y components of space vectors. Moreover, the matrix converter can perform unity power factor control at the input side. The FPIM is sourced from a DMC, and the FOC technique is applied to control the drive. The dynamic characteristics of the drive are succeeded for different loading conditions. The proposed work is simulated in Simulink/Matlab environment and further verified through practical experimentation. The control signals of the IGBTs are generated through FPGA embedded in dSPACE 1006. The experimental and the simulation results prove the practicability of the FOC to FPIM fed from a DMC.
