The detection of broken rotor bars in three-phase squirrel cage induction motors by means of current signature analysis is presented. In order to diagnose faults, a Neural Network approach is used. At first the data of different rotor faults are achieved. The effects of different rotor faults on current spectrum, in comparison with other fault conditions, are investigated via calculating Power ...

Abstract: Quality assessment during dc motor manufacturing should be accomplished by quality controls in order to detect the different fault conditions associated to the components included in the machine. However, some defects can be produced by the automatic manufacturing process during the assembly of the individual components. Among others, inter-turns short-circuit, turn to earth short-cir...

The subject of on-line detection of short winding fault in three-phase induction motors is discussed, and a noninvasive approach, based on the computer-aided monitoring of the stator current Park’s Vector, is introduced. The park's vector representation is obtained using Virtual instrument. The Virtual Instrument is obtained by programming in Labview software. The laboratory tests were conducte...

Abstract: A fault-tolerant permanent-magnet vernier (FT-PMV) machine incorporates the merits of high fault-tolerant capability and high torque density. In this paper, a new remedial control is proposed for a five-phase FT-PMV machine with short-circuit fault of stator windings. Based on the principle of copper loss minimization, the aims of the proposed control strategy are to keep magnetic mot...
