Abstract
Current signature analysis of induction motor becomes very much popular for its Condition monitoring purpose. Most of these studies in recent years are focused on hardware. Though, to build an experimental set-up for fault emulating machines is not an easy task. It involves too much cost and risk of damage. Moreover, it is not possible to create different types of faults in the same machine. In this paper an accurate but simple model of 3-phase Induction motor is being proposed which describes the machine at low frequency as well as at high frequency for different types of fault situations. The model, based on DM, CM characteristics of the machine, is well suited for power frequency (50 Hz) and high frequency applications like adjustable speed drives (ASDs). A mechanical model of a three-phase induction machine is incorporated to this electrical model to make a universal model of dynamic squirrel cage induction motor for overall simulation. The proposed model has the feature to incorporate different types of electrical fault like, stator inter-turn fault, phase-to-phase and phase-to ground insulation fault etc. The premature conditions of the above faults can also be emulated.
