A theoretical analysis enables effects generated by the magnetic core anisotropy of an induction motor to be determined qualitatively. Relationships formulated between currents and magnetic flux linkages that are associated with three-phase stator windings enable the qualitative determination of spectra of currents or voltages of a typical induction motor. These relationships account for nonlinear and anisotropic magnetization characteristics of the motor core, both during idle running and motor starting. Based on these relationships, components of the amplitude Fourier spectra of symmetrical components of currents or voltages, which are useful in the diagnostics of stator or rotor core anisotropy, were selected. Field calculations were performed for the core of a two-pole 5.5 kW motor supplied by three-phase sinusoidal currents. The components of the induced voltage Fourier spectra in both the idle running and short-circuit state were similar to analogous components predicted based on theoretical studies. The components occurring in the spectra, which were obtained based on field calculations, were distinguished in the measured spectra of the symmetrical components of the phase currents. These components were applied to estimate representative current signal levels in the diagnostics of motor core anisotropy. Relative values of these signals did not exceed 60 dB; however, they were significant for assessing the internal asymmetry level of the motor stator or rotor core. The results of laboratory measurements confirmed the results of the theoretical analysis.

A low cost and reliable protection scheme has been designed for a three phase induction motor against unbalance voltages, under voltage, over voltage, short circuit and overheating protection. Taking the cost factor into consideration the design has been proposed using microcontroller Atmega32, MOSFETs, relays, small CTs and PTs. However the sensitivity of the protection scheme has been not compromised. The design has been tested online in the laboratory for small motors and the same can be implemented for larger motors by replacing the i-v converters and relays of suitable ratings.

This chapter discusses modeling and analysis methods for fault detection and diagnosis of stator inter-turn short circuit in three-phase induction machines. dq frame was used to model the induction motor for both health and fault cases to facilitate recognition of motor current and simulate motor environment. Fault diagnosis system was designed with adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to provide an efficient online diagnostic tool. ANFIS diagnostic tool was trained with simulated data that generated by induction motor healthy and faulty models. Approached tool is verified online with a motor under different loading conditions. It determines the fault severity values using the motor current signature analysis (MCSA). Developed tool performance is investigated with a case study of two HP three-phase induction motor using Matlab/Simulink® software.

The paper analyses the aspects of modelling the operation of a three-phase core-type transformer. The features of the magnetic system construction of the transformer, which generate asymmetry, are disclosed. The fundamentals and methods for modelling a transformer in dynamic modes are considered. The main purpose of the paper is to research the influence of taking into account the asymmetry of the transformer magnetic core on its dynamic model. The paper proposes the mathematical model of a three-phase planar core-type transformer, which takes into account the asymmetry of the magnetic core. The mathematical model is based on the model of a generalized electric machine in the ABC axes, which is widely recognized and characterized by a high level of adequacy. A refined model, which takes into account the power losses in the magnetic core, has used. As is well known, such a model is characterized by higher accuracy and adequacy in the calculation of transient processes. For the proposed mathematical model, a comparative analysis of the calculated curves of transient processes for a 63 kVA transformer with a voltage of 6 / 0.4 kV is made. To disclose the effect of taking into account the magnetic core asymmetry of the transformer in the mathematical model, the current differences were calculated in pu for the modes of switching on at full power and three-phase short circuit. These modes are the most common and indicative in the analysis of the operability and stability of transformers. It was found that the most significant difference, which is obtained by taking into account the magnetic system asymmetry of the transformer, is 5…6% when it is switched on at full load. Thus, the relatively simple transformations and updating of the mathematical model of the transformer allow significantly increase its adequacy. The proposed mathematical model can be more effectively used when the non-typical design of three-phase transformers or reactors with significant asymmetry of the magnetic core is considered.

Background: This article deals with the analysis on improved performance and efficiency of induction motor by using nano composites for stator winding. Methods: The nanocomposites are added with different enamel. Enamel is mostly preferred for induction motors’ winding, due to three main reasons: adhesion, infusion and plaster. To predetermine the plaster and nanocomposite conductor’s behavior when they are used for transmitting AC currents and developing AC magnetic field, a numerical analysis is performed. The total heat losses are determined by the heat run test. Open circuit and short circuit tests are used to analyze the performance and efficiency of the proposed induction motor. Results: The AC losses of composite and plaster conductors having good accord are compared with previous solid and hollow conductors. Analysis of the coil by a composite and plaster conductor shows that the AC losses in low current are lower than the coil, which is wrapped by a solid, and hallow conductors. Due to this reason, composite and plaster conductors are considered advantageous for low and medium power motors. Conclusion: Adding nano composites with the plaster material will help to improve electrical, thermal and mechanical characteristics. The property of enamel can change the lifetime of induction motor. The induction motor winding makes use of nano composites SiO2 and TiO2 with enamel coated.

In this article, the most common induction motor faults including bearing outer race defect, broken rotor bar, and short-circuit of stator windings are diagnosed with high reliability. The decentralized fuzzy-integral data fusion method is used for information fusion in feature level. In the proposed scheme, the feature vectors are constructed using signatures created by time-domain characteristics obtained from stator three-phase current measurements. Partial matching of each feature is calculated by the fuzzy c-mean classifier algorithm, and features with high diagnosis ability are fused by Choquet fuzzy integral. The technique is validated experimentally on the 4 hp induction motor of an electropump, and the results are presented.

The study addresses the problem of detecting a short circuit fault in the three-phase induction motor winding by monitoring the stator current Park vector (Lissajous curves). Park's vector model is implemented using the Matlab software package. The experimental part of the study was carried out on an 11 kW three-phase induction motor. The Lissajous curves obtained for a healthy motor and a motor with short-circuited turns under various load conditions were compared with each other. The obtained results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method for detecting interturn short circuit faults in the three-phase stator windings of induction motors.
