This paper presents two orthogonal axis models for simulation of three-phase induction motors having asymmetrical windings and inter-turn short circuits on the stator. The first model assumes that each stator phase winding has a different number of turns. To model shorted stator turns, the second model assumes phase as has two windings in series, representing the unaffected portion and the shor...

Early detection of faults in stator winding of induction motor is crucial for reliable and economical operation of induction motor in industries. Whereas major winding faults can be easily identified from supply currents, minor faults involving less than 5 % of turns are not readily discernible. The present contribution reports experimental results for monitoring of minor short circuit faults i...

This paper presents the application of neural networks for the non-differential protection of salient-pole synchronous generator against internal faults in any winding of the stator. The direct phase quantities and modified winding function approach has been used to simulate different types of internal and external faults using electrical parameters of generators installed by utilities. The cas...

The aim of this paper is to develop an intelligent diagnosis method for fault detection and isolation in induction motors. We consider failures in three components of induction motor: bearing, stator winding and rotor winding. Firstly, a model-based nonlinear observer in the proposed method is designed based on available information. The fault detection decision is carried out by comparing the ...

This paper presents an intelligent fault detection based on adaptive continuous wavelet transform of broken rotor bars for Induction Motor (IM). Broken rotor bars, bearing decay, eccentricity, as motor faults appears as different frequencies in the stator current signals. The stator current and speed signals at deferent operation conditions obtained from the winding function are analysed throug...

This paper discusses the application of three different 100% stator ground fault protection schemes. Two third-harmonic methods and a low frequency-injection method are discussed. Third-harmonic schemes have been widely applied on generators within the U.S. to provide stator ground fault protection over the entire stator winding. In many cases, however, these schemes have been found not to be a...

This article presents a method for fault detection and diagnosis of stator inter-turn short circuitin three phase induction machines. The technique is based on the stator current and modelling in the dqframe using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy artificial intelligence approach. The developed fault analysis method is illustrated using MATLAB simulations. The obtained results are promisingbased on the n...

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...

This paper investigates the behavior of a vectorcontrolled, fault-tolerant, permanent magnet motor drive system adopting a vertically placed strip winding (VSW) which can limit inter-turn short-circuit (SC) fault current to its rated value regardless of the position in the slot containing the shorted turns. The drives’ dynamic behavior is simulated using a per-phase equivalent circuit model wit...
