ROTOR RESISTANCE ESTIMATION FOR CURRENT-FED INDUCTION MOTORS

Induction Motors Thermal Monitoring by Means of Rotor Resistance Identification

Rotor and stator temperature are of concern in both shortterm machine protection and in longer term condition monitoring for large induction machines. Especially, when operating with overload cycles, it is necessary to monitor rotor bars and stator winding temperatures to make sure that the temperature remains below prescribed limits. The purpose of this paper is to present a thermal monitoring...

Estimation of the Number of Rotor Slots and Rotor Speed in Induction Motors Using Current, Flux, or Vibration Signature Analysis

Effective condition monitoring of induction motors requires knowledge of the number of rotor slots and the rotor speed. These were primarily obtained in the literature by multiple measurements and using design knowledge of the motor under test. Furthermore, the earlier studies have mainly concentrated on stator current analysis. This paper investigates the use of the stator current, axial flux,...

On Discrete-Time Control of Current-fed Induction Motors

In this short paper we present a discrete-time eld oriented controller (FOC) for current-fed induction motors which insures global asymptotic speed regulation as well as rotor ux norm tracking. To the best of our knowledge, this is the rst time such a result is rigourously established for a controller implemented in discrete-time. To insure global stability a condition on the reference for the ...

Induction Motors with Rotor Helical Motion

Broken rotor bar fault detection in inverter-fed squirrel cage induction motors using stator current analysis and fuzzy logic

This paper presents the implementation of broken rotor bar fault detection in an inverter-fed induction motor using motor current signal analysis (MCSA) and prognosis with fuzzy logic. Recently, inverter-fed induction motors have become very popular because of their adjustable speed drive. They have been used in many vital control applications such as rolling mills, variable speed compressors, ...
