More than 80 percent of all electrical energy customers are electric motors. Therefore one of the prospects of resource-effective technologies in power industry is control of rotating electric equipment condition. Winding defects are one of the main causes of electric motor failures. Reliable control of winding condition is an urgent task of modern electrical engineering technology. The present article is devoted to the research of pulsed method application of transformer winding control for electric motor winding condition control. The procedure of winding condition control technology is described. The proposed method is based on the known pulsed method. The essential difference between the two methods is that only one probing impulse is used which is a probing impulse and response signal at once. The results of diagnostic procedure research at different winding defects are given. It is established that the place of winding damage corresponds to characteristic impulse changes. The defect of definite types causes specific changes of the probing impulse form. Therefore, different winding defects could be found with high accuracy along winding.
