Condition Monitoring of PMSM and Stator-inter Turn Fault Diagnosis by Advanced Signal Processing Technique
In the present time, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) are extensively used in many industrial applications due to its advantages over conventional synchronous motor. The PMSM is compact and efficient with high dynamic performance, thus having more advantages such as light weight, small size and bulky burden ability. When PMSMs are failed during the operation then large revenue losses occurs for industries. Hence, it is essential to diagnose these faults before occurring, for protection of any industrial plant. In the paper, firstly a comprehensive review of condition monitoring has been done for PMSM faults and their diagnostics techniques. From review, it is found that the stator inter-turn fault diagnosis has been the challenging task for many researchers. Hence, the work has been extended for fault analysis of stator inter-turn under transient conditions, which is effectively analyzed with the help of advanced signal processing technique.
