A method of detecting a rotor bar fault of an electrical machine, said method comprising, acquiring a set of online signals from the electrical machine over a period, said set of online signals comprising at least one vibration signal, and a summed signal of magnetic flux signals, each magnetic flux signal obtained from a respective flux sensor positioned on an external surface of the electrical machine; extracting an online anomaly indicator value from the set of online signals; comparing the online anomaly indicator value with a baseline anomaly indicator value of a corresponding loading condition; and determining presence of the broken or cracked rotor when the online anomaly indicator value deviates from the baseline anomaly indicator value by a threshold.

Method of detecting a rotor bar fault and a method of estimating an additional operating expenditure due to one or more mechanical anomalies in an electrical machine

A method and a system of detecting winding fault during online operation of an electrical machine, said method comprising, acquiring a set of signals from the machine over a period, said set of signals comprising two or more magnetic flux signals, each flux signal obtained from a respective flux sensor positioned on the external surface of the machine; extracting an internal winding fault indicator from the set of signals; comparing the internal winding fault indicator with a baseline indicator; and determining the internal winding fault when the internal winding fault indicator deviates from the baseline indicator by a threshold.

Method and a system of detecting winding fault under online operation of an electrical machine

A method of detecting a fault in an induction machine having one or more windings arranged to draw current at a supply frequency, the method including: performing a process of judging whether a respective sideband of one or more selected harmonics of the supply frequency exists at a predetermined fault frequency in a signal in the one or more windings; and determining that a fault has occurred if the judgement is positive; wherein in the judging process each of the selected harmonics of the supply frequency is a harmonic frequency of the supply frequency other than the supply frequency itself.
