Due to their reliability, robustness and simple construction squirrel-cage induction motors are widely used in industry. However, faults like broken rotor bars, rotor eccentricity, bearing and winding faults can occur during normal operation of the motor. Techniques for the detection of these faults have been researched since more than ten years. Although hundreds of papers are published year b...

The aim of this paper is to prove that fuzzy logic algorithm is a suitable control technique for fast processes such as electrical machines. This theory has been experimented on different kinds of electrical machines such as stepping motors, dc motors and induction machines (with 6 phases) and the experimental results show that the proposed fuzzy logic algorithm is the most suitable control tec...

This paper describes an experimental and numerical optimization procedure for off-line extraction of parameters unsymmetrical, single-phase induction machines with capacitor-start operation. In addition to permitting asymmetry between phase winding parameters, the approach requires only average rms measurements as inputs; electrical angle are not required. The method is validated on motor trans...
