Stator Fault Diagnostics in Squirrel Cage Three-Phase Induction Motor Drives Using the Instantaneous Active and Reactive Power Signature Analyses

摘要

In this paper, the instantaneous active and reactive power signature analyses are presented for stator fault diagnosis in operating squirrel cage three-phase induction motors either directly connected to the mains or fed from inverters. Both simulation and experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness and the merits of the proposed approach that offers the possibility to detect this type of fault and to discriminate it from other abnormality conditions responsible for the same motor behavior by comparing the signature analyses of the two considered quantities.
