Dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous machines (DTP-PMSM) are becoming increasingly popular in automotive electric powertrains due to their reduced phase currents and fault tolerance. The unique advantages of specific phase shift angles (such as 0°, 30°, 60°, etc.) between dual three-phase windings have been extensively studied. In this paper, the current and torque harmonics induced by the inverter are analyzed and the corresponding harmonics suppression strategy are proposed for a DTP-PMSM with different phase shift angles. In addition, this paper analyzes the effect of the phase shift angle between the dual three-phase windings on the torque ripple and phase losses, and proposes a novel optimal phase shift angle 80°. First, a mathematical vector space decomposition (VSD) model for a DTP-PMSM with arbitrary phase shift angles is derived.
