Study on Squirrel Cage Faults of Induction Machines by Means of Advanced Fem Based Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Squirrel-cage induction motors play an important role in the world’s industry. Hence there is a strong demand on their reliable and safe operation. Their faults and failures can lead to excessive downtimes and generate enormous costs due to reduced output, emergency maintenance and lost revenues. In this paper a FEM model of a three phase squirrel-cage induction machine is presented. It is used to analyse the behaviour of the machine having rotor faults.

Magnetic Saturation Impacts on Fault Analysis of Squirrel-cage Six Phases Induction Motors using Winding Function Approach
Multiple coupled circuit modeling (MCCM) of squirrel-cage induction motors (SCIMs), or winding function approach is the most detailed and complete analytical model used to analyze the performance of faulty SCIMs. Already, in variate papers this approach was used to 3phases SCIMs, but this paper extends the above-mentioned model to 6phases SCIMs. Various simulations of variative faults are carri...
متن کاملAn accurate model of squirrel cage induction machines under stator faults
A substantial portion of squirrel cage induction motor faults are stator related. An accurate transient model of squirrel cage induction machines under stator faults is presented here. A coupled magnetic circuits approach is used and very few restrictive assumptions are made. All parameters are calculated from the actual geometry and winding layout of the machines rather than from transformed o...

Condition monitoring is an important issue in the maintenance of electrical machines. In the last years several methods for fault diagnosis of the squirrel-cage induction motors were cited in the literature. Among these methods the Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) is considered the most effective non-invasive fault detection method, because it can easily detect all the common electrical ...

Three phase induction machines for traction applications in electric and hybrid electric vehicles can be used with a fixed gear due to the wide speed range enabled by field weakening. Although the induction machine is know as an extremely reliable and robust device, machine faults may occur. Machine faults which do not become detected may cause complete failure of the vehicle. Therefore, early ...
