In this paper, the idea of using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for the detection and classification of induction motor stator winding faults is presented. The diagnosis inference of the stator inter-turn short-circuits is based on raw stator current data. It offers the possibility of using the diagnostic signal direct processing, which could replace well known analytical methods. Tests were carried out for various levels of stator failures. In order to assess the sensitivity of the applied CNN-based detector to motor operating conditions, the tests were carried out for variable load torques and for different values of supply voltage frequency. Experimental tests were conducted on a specially designed setup with the 3 kW induction motor of special construction, which allowed for the physical modelling of inter-turn short-circuits in each of the three phases of the machine. The on-line tests prove the possibility of using CNN in the real-time diagnostic system with the high accuracy of incipient stator winding fault detection and classification. The impact of the developed CNN structure and training method parameters on the fault diagnosis accuracy has also been tested.

Induction motors are among the most important components of modern machinery and industrial equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fault diagnosis system that detects the operating conditions of and faults in induction motors early. This paper presents an induction motor fault diagnosis system based on a CNN (convolutional neural network) model. In the proposed method, vibration signal data are obtained from the induction motor experimental environment, and these values are input into the CNN. Then, the CNN performs fault diagnosis. In this study, fault diagnosis of an induction motor is performed in three states, namely, normal, rotor fault, and bearing fault. In addition, a GUI (graphical user interface) for the proposed fault diagnosis system is presented. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method is suitable for diagnosing rotor and bearing faults of induction motors.

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.

As one of the important parts of modern mechanical equipment, the accurate real-time diagnosis of rolling bearing is particularly important. Traditional fault diagnosis methods have some disadvantages, such as low diagnostic accuracy and difficult fault feature extraction. In this paper, a method combining Wavelet transform (WT) and Deformable Convolutional Neural Network (D-CNN) is proposed to realize accurate real-time fault diagnosis of end-to-end rolling bearing. The vibration signal of rolling bearing is taken as the monitoring target. Firstly, the Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) algorithm is used to remove the harmonic signal and retain the impact signal and noise. Secondly, the time-frequency map of the signal is obtained by time-frequency transform using Wavelet analysis. Finally, the D-CNN is used for feature extraction and classification. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the method can reach 99.9% under various fault modes, and it can accurately identify the fault of rolling bearing.

Rolling bearings are the vital components of rotary machines. The collected data of rolling bearing have strong noise interference, massive unlabeled samples, and different fault features. Thus, a deep transfer learning method is proposed for rolling bearings fault diagnosis under variable operating conditions. To obtain robust feature representation, the denoising autoencoder is used to denoise and reduce dimension of unlabeled rolling bearing signals. For those unlabeled target domain signals, a feature matching method based on multi-kernel maximum mean discrepancies between source domain and target domain is adopted to get enough labeled target domain samples. Then, these rolling bearing signals are converted to multi-dimensional graph samples and fed into a convolutional neural network model for fault diagnosis. To improve the generalization of convolutional neural network under variable operating conditions, we combine model-based transfer learning with feature-based transfer learning to initialize and optimize the convolutional neural network parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through several comparative experiments of Case Western Reserve University data. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can learn features adaptively from noisy data and increase the accuracy rate by 2%–8% comparing with other models.

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) failures are currently widely discussed in the literature, but the impact of these failures on the operation of control systems and the ability to detect selected failures despite the compensating effect of control algorithms being relatively rarely analyzed. The article presents the impact of damage to the stator winding of a PMSM motor on the operation of two frequency control structures, scalar and vector control. The mathematical model of PMSM that takes into account the influence of a different number of shorted turns in the stator winding phase was presented, and its experimental verification was performed. Then, the influence of various degrees of damage to the stator winding on the waveforms of the motor state variables in an open scalar control structure and in a closed field-oriented control structure was analyzed. Based on the analysis of phase currents and rotational speed of the motor as well as the influence of the PMSM motor operating conditions, the basic techniques of extracting the symptoms of stator winding inter-turn short-circuits were analyzed, and the failure indicators were developed, which enable simple diagnostics of the stator winding.

Rolling bearing plays an important role in rotary machines and industrial processes. Effective fault diagnosis technology for rolling bearing directly affects the life and operator safety of the devices. In this paper, a fault diagnosis method based on tunable-Q wavelet transform (TQWT) and convolutional neural network (CNN) is proposed to reduce the influence of noise on bearing vibration signal and the dependence on the experience of traditional diagnosis methods. TQWT is used to decompose and denoise the vibration signal, while the CNN is adopted to extract fault features and carry out fault classification. Seven motor operating conditions—normal, drive end rolling ball failure (DE-B), drive end inner raceway failure (DE-IR), drive end outer raceway failure (DE-OR), fan end rolling ball failure (FE-B), fan end inner raceway fault (FE-IR) and fan end outer raceway fault (FE-OR)—are used to evaluate the proposed approach. The experimental results indicate that the fault diagnosis accuracy of the proposed method reaches 99.8%.
