Although three-phase electric machines play a great role in almost all industrial applications, they still have limitations to cover high power requirements needed for traction, propulsion and other high power applications. Nowadays, multiphase electric machines with high output power can solve this problem....

The nano-age has already begun, where typical feature dimensions are smaller than 100nm. The operating frequency is expected to increase up to 12 GHz, and a single chip will contain over 40 billion transistors in 2020, as given by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) initiative....
