    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for on-line monitoring of the condition of the stator insulation of an AC motor or an electric generator. In certain embodiments, the system includes a transformer surrounding each pair of input and output cables associated with a given phase of power provided to the AC motor or generated by the electric generator. In another embodiment, a transformer surrounds the three input cables (for an AC motor) or the three output cables (for an electric generator) that correspond to phases of the AC motor or electric generator. In both embodiments, the transformers generate voltages that may be used to monitor leakage currents associated with the cables. A microcontroller monitors the voltages generated by the transformers and determines the condition of the stator insulation of the AC motor or the electric generator based on the voltages.

    摘要: A method for detection of rotor bar faults in an electric machine is provided. The method includes acquiring electrical signals from the electric machine that are representative of the operative condition of the machine. The symmetrical components from the electrical signals are eliminated by squaring an instantaneous value of each data point from the electrical signals and summing the squared values. The method further includes the step of eliminating discontinuities in the electrical signals by applying a window function to compute weighted representation of the squared values. Furthermore, the method includes the step of normalizing the weighted representation to obtain spectral information. The faults in the rotor bar are detected by analyzing the spectral information obtained after normalization.
