Demagnetization Fault Diagnosis of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Based on Empirical Mode Decomposition

Abstract

The demagnetization failure of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) will be accompanied by a magnetic leakage phenomenon. The degree of magnetic leakage will affect the utilization of the permanent magnet. If the magnetic leakage is serious, the motor can not run normally. To study the problem of the demagnetization fault degree of PMSM when partial demagnetization fault occurs, this paper employs the finite element method to simulate the radial magnetic leakage signal 1cm outside the 8-pole 48-slot surface-mounted PMSM. The amplitude of the harmonic wave of the radial magnetic leakage signal is analyzed when partial demagnetization occurs in the permanent magnet synchronous motor. The results show that the spatial order amplitude of the motor radial flux leakage signal decreases along with the increase of demagnetization, which can be used as a check for the demagnetization degree of the motor.
