Abstract

This article presents a novel approach for detecting broken rotor bars in squirrel-cage induction motors, using a time-domain current analysis. More particularly, this solution proposes a new use of histogram of oriented gradients since this method is usually applied in computer vision and image processing applications. Fully broken rotor bars have been detected when the motor was running at a very low slip since this operational condition is very difficult to identify using the traditional motor-current signature analysis. In addition, only one phase of the stator current of the machine was applied to extract the intensity gradients and edge directions of each current time window, for both healthy and damaged rotors. It is important to highlight that the present method does not require the slip measurement for fault detection, as demand for other techniques and often related to false negative indications. The features extracted from the histograms have been applied as inputs for a neural network classifier. This method has been validated using some experimental data from a 7.5-kW squirrel-cage induction machine running at distinct load levels (slip conditions) and also for oscillatory loads. (AU)
