Abstract
This paper demonstrates the development of a flexible fault diagnosis methodology that can detect up to ten different faults in the induction motor (IM), simultaneously. The major IM electrical faults, such as the broken rotor bar (BRB), phase unbalance (PUF), and stator winding fault (SWF), and mechanical faults, such as bearing fault (BF), unbalanced rotor (UR), bowed rotor (BR), and misaligned rotor (MR), are considered with different fault severities for the diagnosis. The experiments are conducted with three varying loads and seven different speeds, and the frequency domain vibration and current data are acquired at a relatively low sampling rate of 1 kHz. Several statistical features are extracted and then the best feature-set is selected using the wrapper model. Thereafter, a data classification tool based on the support vector machine (SVM) is used for the fault characterization. Initially, a multi-fault diagnosis is performed by training and testing the SVM at the same operating conditions (i.e., load and speed). The performance of the classifier is found to be very good at all IM operating conditions. The main focus of this study lies in overcoming the fault diagnosis, where the data are unavailable at required operating conditions. This is accomplished by employing interpolation and extrapolation strategies for different loads and speeds. The proposed methodology not only solves practical problem of unavailability of data at different operating conditions but also shows good performance and takes low computation time, which are vital requirements of an online intelligent condition monitoring system.
