Description
Summary:This paper proposes the use of the multiple reference frames theory for the diagnosis of stator faults in three-phase induction motors. The development of a simplified mathematical motor model allowed the establishment of the equivalent circuits of the motor, in d-q-0 axes, in the presence of stator interturn short circuits. The use of the stationary reference frame, clockwise and counterclockwise synchronous reference frames, allows the extraction and manipulation of the information contained in the motor supply currents in a way that the effects introduced by the fault are easily isolated and measured. A severity factor is defined and the simulation and experimental results presented demonstrate its independence in relation to the working conditions of the motor, such as the load level and unbalances in the voltage supply system. Although the technique is here introduced for the diagnosis of stator faults, it is possible to extend its use for the diagnosis of other asymmetries such as broken rotor bars and air-gap eccentricity.
