Survey of Condition Monitoring Techniques for Induction Motors

Health Condition Monitoring of Induction Motors

Induction motors (IMs) are commonly used in various industrial applications. A spectrum synch (SS) technique is proposed in this chapter for early IM defect detection using electric current signals; fault detection in this work will focus on defects in rolling element bearings and rotor bars, which together account for more than half of IM imperfections. In bearing fault detection, the proposed...

A Review of Application of Signal Processing Techniques for Fault Diagnosis of Induction Motors – Part I

Abstract - Use of efficient signal processing tools (SPTs) to extract proper indices for fault detection in induction motors (IMs) is the essential part of any fault recognition procedure. The Part1 of the two parts paper focuses on Fourier-based techniques including fast Fourier transform and short time Fourier transform. In this paper, all utilized SPTs which have been employed for fault fete...

The Decision Making System for Condition Monitoring of Induction Motors Based on Vector Control Model

Induction motors are mainly used for variable load applications and it is vital to have a condition monitoring system with capabilities to diagnose motor faults in variable load conditions. The environment noise varies has non-linear relation with motor load and it challenges the decision making capability of the condition monitoring system. This paper addresses the issue of reliable decision m...
