Finite-control-set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) has achieved superiority in managing multiphase induction machines due to its quick dynamic response, control flexibility, and overall good performance. Its advantages, including simplicity, computational efficiency, compensation for system perturbations, and effective handling of multivariable problems, have made it a competitive alternative in various industrial applications. Nevertheless, FCS-MPC has some limitations. It is highly dependent on the accuracy of the predictive model’s parameters. Unfortunately, the estimation of magnetizing inductance, the most critical factor, especially in the weakening field region, has not been studied yet. Focusing on this gap, this article proposes a technique to estimate the magnetizing inductance in the field weakening zone for a six-phase asymmetrical induction machine driven by the FCS-MPC. Experimental tests have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method, considering stator currents and rotor speed tracking, as well as a reduction in the ( $x-y$ ) currents.
