Abstract
This paper proposes a new form of stray flux sensor, placed on the inner side of the machine rear end plate, in order to monitor the presence and evolution of some most common faults in three-phase induction motors. The fault indicator is based on analysis of orbits built from time flux signals collected by the sensor. The effectiveness of this methodology was checked considering three types of faults under three different load conditions: incipient inter-turn short circuits, unbalanced voltage supplies and misalignment, all with 0%, 50% and 100% loads. The experimental results showed a viability of the technique for diagnosing and monitoring of induction motors. This can be adapted and used in predictive maintenance in industry.
