System for detecting generator winding faults

摘要

A system (10) includes an induction generator controller (44) configured to operate an induction generator (18) via a converter (36). The induction generator controller (44) includes a diagnostic mode configured to instruct the converter (36) to send an input signal to a rotor (28) of the induction generator (18), receive an output signal from the rotor (28) and a stator (30) of the induction generator (18), and identify winding faults within the rotor (28) and/or the stator (30) based on the output signals.
