Detection of stator winding faults in induction machines using flux and vibration analysis

摘要

This work aims at presenting the detection and diagnosis of electrical faults in the stator winding of three-phase induction motors using magnetic flux and vibration analysis techniques. A relationship was established between the main electrical faults (inter-turn short circuits and unbalanced voltage supplies) and the signals of magnetic flux and vibration, in order to identify the characteristic frequencies of those faults. The experimental results showed the efficiency of the conjugation of these techniques for detection, diagnosis and monitoring tasks. The results were undoubtedly impressive and can be adapted and used in real predictive maintenance programs in industries.
