Dependence of the spectral components of the stator current on damage in the electric motor

Abstract

Safety and fail-safety of production processes largely depend on the technical condition of machine assemblies that play a key role in production. The main drive mechanism of machine assemblies is an asynchronous electric drive with a squirrel-cage rotor. Damage to any part of the electric motor reduces the performance and service life of the machine. Malfunctions resulting from normal wear and tear, errors in maintenance and design, harmful environmental influences and other factors must be identified and eliminated in a timely manner. In this regard, the analysis of the condition of the electric motor and the prediction of damage plays a major role in increasing the reliability and increasing the service life of the equipment. This article will consider the regularities of the spectral components of the stator current of an electric motor from the mode of failure.
