description Abstract Synchronous reluctance motor has recently attracted the attention of researchers due to their characteristics such as higher efficiency compared to induction motors, lower cost in contrast to permanent magnet motors, robust rotor structure and limited rotor inertia. Also, research on five‐phase motors, which have more reliability and torque density than three‐phase motors, is of a great importance. In this essay, the optimization of the robust design of a five‐phase reluctance synchronous motor has been done through the design of experiments using the sequential Taguchi method based on fuzzy logic. To ensure that the performance of the motor is not sensitive to changes and uncertainties, the air gap manufacturing tolerances, the width of the rotor's tangential rib and the rotor's pitch control angle are considered as noise factors. In addition, to improve the motor's fault tolerance capacity, the main performance characteristics of the motor under single‐phase fault operation, such as average torque and ripple torque are considered as optimization targets, along with the main performance characteristics of the motor under normal operation. By comparing the optimization results of the proposed method with the conventional Taguchi optimization method, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method have been confirmed.
