FAULT DETECTION IN INDUCTION MACHINES

摘要

A method of detecting a fault in an induction machine having one or more windings arranged to draw current at a supply frequency, the method including: performing a process of judging whether a respective sideband of one or more selected harmonics of the supply frequency exists at a predetermined fault frequency in a signal in the one or more windings; and determining that a fault has occurred if the judgement is positive; wherein in the judging process each of the selected harmonics of the supply frequency is a harmonic frequency of the supply frequency other than the supply frequency itself.

1. A method of detecting a fault in an induction machine having one or more windings arranged to draw current at a supply frequency, the method comprising:
performing a process of judging whether a respective sideband of one or more selected harmonics of the supply frequency exists at a predetermined fault frequency in a signal in the one or more windings; and determining that a fault has occurred if the judgement is positive; wherein in the judging process each of the selected harmonics of the supply frequency is a harmonic frequency of the supply frequency other than the supply frequency itself; and determining whether the power distribution of at least one of the selected harmonics to its sidebands is below a predetermined threshold; and determining the fault type based on the determination.
