These enhancements improve motor efficiency, ensure smoother operation, and minimise mechanical wear, making the 3L-NPC inverter an ideal choice for highperformance applications in modern electric transportation. Building on these benefits, this paper presents a predictive current control strategy specifically designed for NPC inverters functioning under open-phase fault conditions in five-phase induction motors. Simulation results reveal superior performance across various torque loads, underscoring the advantages of this approach in comparison to the conventional two-level topology.
