Open-end winding five-phase induction motor (OeW-5PIM) configuration is used in industrial applications, where minimization in the total harmonic currents and high reliability are needed. The majority of the literature on OeW-5PIM topology discusses field-oriented control and direct torque control in addition to other robust control techniques such as the backstepping approach. This paper focuses on the mathematical and experimental approaches of backstepping control (BSC) and rotor-flux-oriented control (RFOC) for an OeW-5PIM topology. The space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) strategy is associated with the suggested control techniques to improve the dynamic performance (i.e., reducing ripple, fixed switching frequency, etc.) of the studied motor. Furthermore, the RFOC-SVPWM and BSC-SVPWM are comprehensively compared using experimental implementation under various situations such as load torque, open-phase fault, and high/low-speed operation.     «
