Electromagnetic forces in power transformer windings are produced by interaction between the leakage fluxes and current passing them. Since the leakage flux distribution along the windings height is in two axial and radial directions, so the electromagnetic forces have two components, radial and axial. There is a risk that a large electromagnetic force due to the short circuit or inrush current...

extension of inter-turn fault in windings of pmsm can damage all parts of electrical systems, and in some cases in sensitive applications may lead to irreparable events. identification of such small faults at incipient steps can be so helpful to protect entire part of electrical system. in this paper, intelligent protection system is designed which is made by two major parts. in the first part ...

The paper aims to investigate the use of the Finite Element Method for electrical and mechanical faults detection in three-phase squirrel cage, induction machines. The features of Finite Element Method are significant, which consider the physical mapping of stator winding and rotor bar distribution. Therefore, modeling of the faults in stator winding, rotor bars and air-gap eccentricity will be...

An electric drive consists of an electric machine, which converts electrical power to mechanical power, power electronics to operate the machine and a unit to control the motion of the drive. These are the components of the drive. Parts of each of these components could fail and give rise to specific failure scenarios. The drive types investigated in this chapter are limited to asynchronous ind...

This paper discusses the application of MultiLayer Feed Forward Neural Network (MFNN) for the differential protection of the turbogenerator based on pattern classification. The cases of all the possible internal faults in the stator of the generator with lap winding have been simulated using Modified Winding function Approach. The simulated fault currents in the phases and their parallel paths ...

This paper describes a quasi-fuzzy method of online stator-resistance estimation of an induction motor, where the resistance value is derived from stator-winding temperature estimation as a function of stator current and frequency through an approximate dynamic thermal model of the machine. The estimator has been designed and iterated by simulation study and then implemented by a digital signal...

This work analyzes the behavior of surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SPMSMs) operating under stator faults. The studied faults are resistive unbalance and winding inter-turn short circuits, which may lead to unbalanced conditions of the motor. Both faults may reduce motor efficiency and performance and produce premature ageing. This work develops an analytical model of the mo...

This paper presents the novel approach in protection and detection techniques of Alternator stator winding from the earth faults which are simulated between 2% to 10% distance point from the alternator neutral, since the impedence at that distance is very high we can not detect or protect by normal methods. The transient produced is analyzed in discreet Wavelet transforms. The potential of usin...

This paper discusses a novel method for motor fault detection under varying load conditions. Winding Function Approach (WFA) is used to develop a mathematical model to provide indication references for parameters under different load levels and different fault situations. Broken bar defects reference indexes are developed to assess rotor fault severity based on stator current and rotor speed. S...
