Diagnostics of mechanical and electrical faults in induction motors based on support vector machine algorithms

Abstract

Continuous and trouble free operation of induction motors IMs is an essential part of the modern power and production plants Accordingly this study presents fault diagnostics of the mechanical and electrical faults in IMs through an artificial intelligence AI methodology i e the support vector machine SVM algorithm Ten IM fault conditions are considered for the diagnosis i e four mechanical fault conditions i e the bearing fault the unbalanced rotor the bowed rotor and the misa
