Symmetrical nature of mean of electrical signals during normal operating conditions is used in the fault detection task for dependable, robust, and simple fault detector implementation is presented in this work. Every fourth cycle of the instantaneous current signal, the mean is computed and carried into the next cycle to discover nonlinearities in the signal. A fault detection task is complete...

Partial discharge is the commencement of failure of insulation of electrical devices used at high voltage. If such discharge is not detected then fault may increase at the working duration. Basically partial discharge is the cause of failure of insulation in electrical equipment. The insulation of electrical equipment deteriorates due to thermal, mechanical, electrical and environmental stresse...

Static random-access memories (SRAMs) exhibit faults that are electrical in nature. Functional and electrical testing are performed to diagnose faulty operation. These tests are usually designed from simple fault models that describe the chip interface behavior without a thorough analysis of the chip layout and technology. However, there are certain technology and layout-related defects that ar...

Numerical magnetic field analysis is used for predicting the performance of an induction motor and a slip-ring generator having different faults implemented in their structure. Virtual measurement data provided by the numerical magnetic field analysis are analysed using modern signal processing techniques to get a reliable indication of the fault. Support vector machine based classification is ...

It is well known that Induction motors are used worldwide as the “workhorse” in industrial applications. Although, these electromechanical devices are highly reliable, they are susceptible to many types of faults. Such fault can become catastrophic and cause production shutdowns, personal injuries and waste of raw material. However, induction motor faults can be detected in an initial stage in ...

In this paper, methods of fault location are discussed in electrical traction single-end direct power supply network systems. Based on the distributed parameter model of the system, the position of the short-circuit fault can be located with the aid of the current and voltage value at the measurement end of the electrical traction line. Furthermore, the influence of the transient resistance, th...

This paper presents an analysis of the stability of an electric vehicle equipped with in-wheel motors of permanent-magnet type during a class of electrical faults. Due to the constant excitation from the permanent magnets, the output torque from a faulted wheel cannot easily be removed if an inverter shuts down, which directly affects the vehicle stability. In this paper, the impact of an elect...

The paper will present the application of artificial neural network of Support Vector Machine (SVM) type to the fault location in analog electrical filter. The recognition of fault is based on the measurements of the accessible terminal voltage and current of the network, transformed according to the proposed procedure. The SVM network is applied as the recognizing system and as the classifier....
