Induction Motor Diagnostics With Regard To Maintenance And Reliability

The thesis Diagnostic of induction motor with regard to its maintenance and reliability aims to be a theoretical preparation and application of online diagnostics. It is trying to map correlations between electromechanical system failures driven by induction motor and output information of the diagnostic method. It mainly focuses on spectrum analysis of stator current which carries information on the induction motor status in the form of characteristic signatures in the spectrum (Motor Current Signature Analysis). The theoretical part deals with the concept of diagnostics and mainly with the operational diagnostics, it classifies and characterises types of induction motor failure and it accordingly processes diagnostic methods. This all is done with regard to the application of the maintenance and inspection of machines in a manufacturing company. The practical part develops methodology and measurement procedure. Several measurements demonstrate, validate and apply the MCSA method. It simulates abnormalities and searches for their correlations in the spectrum stream. First, a motor powered from electric distribution network is measured and then the MCSA method is applied to motors powered from frequency converters
