Five-phase machine employment in electric drive system is expanding rapidly in many applications due to several advantages that they present when compared with their three-phase complements. Synchronous reluctance machines(SynRM) are considered as a proposed alternative to permanent magnet machine in the automotive industry because the volatilities in the permanent magnet price, and a proposed alternative for induction motor because they have no field excitation windings in the rotor, SyRM rely on high reluctance torque thus no needing for magnetic material in the structure of rotor. This paper presents dynamic simulation of five phase synchronous reluctance motor fed by five phase voltage source inverter based on mathematical modeling. Sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique is used to generate the pulses for inverter. The theory of reference frame has been used to transform five-phase SynRM voltage equations for simplicity and in order to eliminate the angular dependency of the inductances. The torque in terms of phase currents is then attained using the known magnetic co-energy method, then the results obtained are typical.
