Systems and methods for monitoring the health of a rotating machine mounted on a vehicle are disclosed. The method may include: receiving identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and a vibration sensor coupled to the rotating machine; receiving vibration data from the vibration sensor during operation of the rotating machine, the received vibration data being associated with the identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and the vibration sensor; comparing the received vibration data with known vibration data for the rotating machine; generating an alert if the received vibration data exceeds a predetermined threshold value of the known vibration data; generating a health report for the rotating machine based on the received vibration data; and transmitting the health report to a user via a web portal.

Systems and methods for monitoring the health of a rotating machine

A method for monitoring the health of a rotating machine mounted on a vehicle is disclosed. The method may include: receiving identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and a portable vibration sensor mounted on the rotating machine; receiving vibration data from the portable vibration sensor during a test of the rotating machine, the received vibration data being associated with the identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and the portable vibration sensor; comparing the received vibration data with known vibration data for the rotating machine; generating an alert if the received vibration data exceeds a predetermined threshold value of the known vibration data; generating a health report for the rotating machine based on the received vibration data; and transmitting the health report to a user via a web portal.

A multiple-winding induction machine may be used to obtain a reduced-speed-variation electric drive when using a variable-frequency power distribution system. Each winding may have a different number of poles. The winding with the smallest number of poles may operate the machine at the lowest bus frequency, while the winding with the largest number of poles may operate the machine at the highest bus frequency. In one embodiment, a third winding, with a middle number of poles, may operate the machine at the middle frequency ranges. The speed of the induction machine is a function of the electrical frequency and the number of the winding poles. Therefore, the operating speed range can be reduced by switching from one winding to another. According to the present invention, windings with different numbers of poles can be designed to achieve different reductions in speed variation.
