Abstract
Fly-by-wire vehicle systems and related actuation systems and operating methods are provided for actuating a flight control component. An exemplary system includes a power conversion arrangement including phase legs between a supply reference voltage node and a second reference voltage node, a six-phase motor coupled to the flight control component, where each winding of the six-phase motor is coupled between a respective output node of a respective phase leg of the power conversion arrangement and a common neutral node, a topology configuration switching element coupled between the common neutral node and the second reference voltage node, and a control module to operate the topology configuration switching element based on measurement data indicative of a current state of the six-phase motor and operate a respective subset of the plurality of phase legs based at least in part on a state of the topology configuration switching element.
