Numerical magnetic field analysis and signal processing for fault diagnostics of electrical machines

Abstract

Numerical magnetic field analysis is used for predicting the performance of an induction motor and a slip‐ring generator having different faults implemented in their structure. Virtual measurement data provided by the numerical magnetic field analysis are analysed using modern signal processing techniques to get a reliable indication of the fault. Support vector machine based classification is applied to fault diagnostics. The stator line current, circulating currents between parallel stator branches and forces between the stator and rotor are compared as media of fault detection.
