Abstract
The induction motors are widely used in the industry for their advantage of being reliable, rugged, and simple in construction. Nonetheless, the use of inverter-based drives has increased the overall system failure possibility mainly because of the power electronics switches used in the inverter itself. For that reason, it is crucial to monitor the inverter switches health during operation to avoid total system breakdown. A method to do so is by using the current vector trajectory analysis on the induction motor stator current signal. However, one disadvantage of using this method is that it is negatively affected by the load and speed variations. This paper is intended to discuss further on the matter and look into the methods that can be used to minimize the effects associated with the load and speed variations using computer simulation analysis.
