In this paper simulation results of a single IGBT open-circuit fault diagnostic system for a two-level voltage inverter-fed direct field-oriented controlled induction motor drive are presented. A fault diagnostic procedure is carried out by utilizing an analysis of an estimated rotor flux space vector trajectory in stationary  coordinates. In the article an original approach for a fault extr...

Flux coupling in heteropolar magnetic bearings permits remaining active coils to assume actions of failed coils to produce force resultants identical to the un-failed actuator. This fault-tolerant control usually reduces load capacity because the redistribution of the magnetic flux which compensates for the failed coils leads to premature saturation in the stator or journal. A distribution matr...

The start-up transient signals have been widely used for fault diagnosis of induction motor because they can reveal early defects in the development process, which are not easily detected with the signals in the steady state operation. However, transient signals are non-linear and contain multi components which need a suitable technique to process and identify the fault pattern. In this paper, ...

The relationship of permanent magnetic material characteristic parameters was analyzed, and a simulation method of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) rotor demagnetization fault was put forward. Based on this, a simulation model of the PMSM under partial demagnetization and uniform demagnetization fault were established, and different degrees demagnetization fault was simulated. Relati...

Detection and identification of induction machine faults through the stator current signal using higher order spectra analysis is presented. This technique is known as motor current signature analysis (MCSA). This paper proposes two higher order spectra techniques, namely the power spectrum and the slices of bi-spectrum used for the analysis of induction machine stator current leading to the de...

Rotating machinery, such as steam turbo, compressor, and aeroengine etc., are widely used in many industrial fields. Among the important rotor faults, the fatigue crack fault, which can lead to catastrophic failure and cause injuries and severe damage to machinery if undetected in its early stages, is most difficult to detect efficiently with traditional methods. In the paper, based on the trut...

The main objective of this paper is to present the MATLAB block-set that can be used for faulttolerant control of linear-parameter varying systems. In particular, the introductory part of the paper presents a theoretical background regarding the fault identification and control strategy. Subsequently, it is shown how to implement these theoretical results in Matlab/Simulink. The final part of t...

An investigation into the vibration characteristics of a ‘Roots and Claws’ based dry vacuum pump under different operating conditions was conducted. An AutoRegressive (AR)-based condition monitoring algorithm was developed and tested on both a fault-free and a pump with an implanted ceramic bearing with an inner race defect at the High Vacuum (HV) end. The investigation provided some in-depth u...
