In this work we propose the air-gap torque as failure signature to detect mechanical faults in particular the eccentricity. In this way, we compare the proposed signature with those most used recently in particular the current space vector (Park vector) and complex apparent power. This signature is subsequently analysed using the classical fast Fourier transform (FFT). The magnitudes of spectra...

A number of research studies has shown that faults in a stator or rotor generally show sideband frequencies around the mains frequency (50 Hz) and at higher harmonics in the spectrum of the Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA). However in the present experimental studies such observations have not been seen, but any fault either in the stator or the rotor may distort the sinusoidal response ...

Switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive has remarkable characteristics that make it attractive for high-speed applications. As the motor's speed increases the shape of the current waveform changes in such way that limits the production of motoring torque. At high speeds, it is possible for the phase current never reaches the desired value due to the self e.m.f. of the motor, therefore, the torque...

A non-invasive technique for condition monitoring of brushless DC motor drives is proposed in this study Hall-effect position sensor fault diagnosis. Position faults affect rotor feedback, resulting faulty transitions, which turn cause current fluctuations and mechanical oscillations, derating system performance threatening life expectancy. The main concept the to detect using vibration signals...

The condition monitoring of the electrical machines can significantly reduce the costs of maintenance by allowing the early detection of faults, which could be expensive to repair. In this paper some results on non-invasive detection of broken rotor bars in squirrel-cage induction motors are presented. The applied method is the so-called motor current signature analysis (MCSA) which utilises th...

In recent years it has been trying that with regard to the question of computational complexity of discrete logarithm more strength and less in the elliptic curve than other hard issues, applications such as elliptic curve cryptography, a blind  digital signature method, other methods such as encryption replacement DLP. In this paper, a new blind digital signature scheme based on elliptic curve...
