Many schemes are reported for shunt fault location estimation, but fault location estimation of series or open conductor faults has not been dealt with so far. The existing numerical relays only detect the open conductor (series) fault and give the indication of the faulty phase(s), but they are unable to locate the series fault. The repair crew needs to patrol the complete line to find the loc...

This study presents a novel method of detection of inter turn shorts based on k means clustering technique. In addition to inter turn short detection, the other faults like open, short, phase to phase faults and DC voltage faults are detected through wavelet transforms and k means clustering. Open and short faults are classified using artificial neural network. All other faults are classified u...

this paper presents a method for diagnosis of eccentricity fault in a switched-reluctance motor (srm) during offline and standstill modes. in this method, the fault signature is differential induced voltage (div) achieved by injecting diagnostic pulses to the motor windings. it will be demonstrated by means of results that there is a correlation between differential induced voltage and eccentri...
