Abstract

In this paper, two approach signals are used for broken rotor bar fault diagnosis. One is based on the spectrum analysis, such as the fast Fourier transform, which utilizes the steady-state spectral components of the stator quantities. The accuracy of this technique depends on the loading conditions and constant speed of the machine. The second approach is based on the discrete wavelet transform which is considered an ideal tool for this purpose due to its suitability for the analysis of signals, the frequency spectrum of which is variable in time. These two approaches are tested in simulation and validated experimentally.
