Due to the various stator phase arrangements, standard fault detection techniques are insufficiently applicable and cannot be used to diagnose faults in the various configurations of multiphase machines in closed-loop applications. The current study proposes an effective online diagnostic technique based on the computing and tracking of a significant severity factor, which is defined as the ratio of the zero, negative, and positive voltage symmetrical components employing a short-time least-square Prony algorithm (STLSP). In this study, the asymmetrical six-phase induction motor (ASPIM) was controlled by a model predictive control (MPC) algorithm, an attractive control scheme for the regulation of multiphase electric drives, since it easily exploits their inherent advantages. This article addresses stator faults in ASPIMs. The effectiveness of the suggested strategy was confirmed experimentally for various operating conditions in both steady and transient states.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/machines11020132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]],"date-time":"2023-01-19T01:33:51Z","timestamp":1674092031000},"page":"132","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Stator Faults Detection in Asymmetrical Six-Phase Induction Motor Drives with Single and Dual Isolated Neutral Point, Adopting a Model Predictive Controller"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7683-6897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Khaled","family":"Laadjal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CISE\u2014Electromechatronic Systems Research Centre, University of Beira Interior, Cal\u00e7ada Fonte do Lameiro, P- 6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3717-1714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Serra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CISE\u2014Electromechatronic Systems Research Centre, University of Beira Interior, Cal\u00e7ada Fonte do Lameiro, P- 6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8737-6999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio J.
