FREMGANGSMÅDE TIL DIAGNOSTICERING AF ELEKTROMEKANISK SYSTEM BASERET PÅ IMPEDANS-ANALYSE

摘要

The present invention is concerned with a method for diagnosing the state of electromechanical systems in which electrical rotating machinery is used on the basis of analysis of impedance estimated from at least two currents and two voltages, measured during an operation of the electromechanical system. The method may be especially useful in the condition monitoring of electric motors and generators. The invention combines the information from both the voltage and current signals measurable at the motor terminals. Specifically, the measurements of voltage and current from two or more phases of a polyphase electrical machine are combined to estimate the impedance of the machine, impedance being the resistance to the flow of current that a circuit exhibits when a voltage is applied to it.
