Abstract
The induction motor (IM) defect diagnosis has been an important field of research in recent years. The development in control circuits for IM has piqued the interest of industrialists and researchers. This paper presents a method for detecting and quantifying broken rotor bar (BRB) faults via wavelets and energy Eigen value (EEV) estimation in voltage/frequency control-fed IM. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) extracts the signal’s amplitude and frequency components, while the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) decomposes it. In this paper, the energy estimation for each level of breakdown and the method to overcome the diagnose faults are explained. The EEV of the motor current of the signal determines the fault’s severity and provides a better method for identifying the faults. The usage of a single current sensor is a gain of this technology. With a fluctuating load, we can identify the issue and the number of broken bars via online. After processing of DWT, the faulty BRB’s stator current signal is suppressed to 91% in amplitude when compared to existing techniques. Simulation and experimental results have proved that the proposed method’s stability, durability, and resilience.
