Incipient winding fault detection and diagnosis for squirrel-cage induction motors equipped on CRH trains

摘要

Stator/rotor winding faults are the common faults in squirrel-cage induction motor systems, which motivates the study of incipient fault detection and isolation (IFDI) to improve the safety and reliability of CRH (China Railway High-speed) trains. In this paper, a dynamic model for squirrel caged induction motor in d-q coordinate system is established firstly, further, the models and characteristics of incipient broken-rotor-bar fault and turn-to-turn short fault are analyzed. After that, a novel robust diagnosis design is proposed for the possible incipient stator/rotor winding faults. Experimental analyses show that the detection and isolation scheme designed in this paper provides high sensitivity and accurate isolation to incipient winding faults. (C) 2019 ISA.
