A number of automobiles have been fitted with electric motors and their inverters. In order to reduce the space of the motors, we propose a two-controllable-rotor motor which consist of 2 rotors and 1 stator. However, two-controllable-rotor motor is driven by a 6-phase inverter, and the space of its inverter is almost the same as 2 motors driven by 3-phase inverters. In this paper, in order to reduce the space of its inverter, we propose a two-controllable-rotor motor using a 5-phase inverter, and its operation principle is described.
