Abstract
Motor current signature analysis is the reference method for the diagnosis of induction machines. However, it features some drawbacks, as it is bound to steady-state conditions, and fault signatures may be created by different overlapping phenomena. This paper presents a full-time domain-based method for the quantitative evaluation of electrical faults in induction machines. It relies on stator current measurements; thus, it is compliant with switching power converter drives, provided that a proper current measurement technique is available. Moreover, it allows an accurate quantification of faults without requiring spectrum analysis; hence, it achieves high resolution even with a low time acquisition period. A fault index is computed as the energy of the signal in a suitable ldquofault bandwidth,rdquo thus reducing the effects of frequency variations. The aforementioned advantages are perfectly suited to time varying signals and to embedded drive diagnostic systems.
