Abstract
Induction motors are the most common engine used worldwide. When they are summited to extensive working journals, e.g. in industry, faults may appear, generating a performance reduction on them. Several works have been focused on detecting early mechanical and electrical faults before damage appears in the motor. However, the main drawback of them is the complexity on the motor’s signal mathematical processing. In this paper, a new methodology is proposed for detecting misalignment faults in induction motors. Through signal vibration and orbital analysis, misalignment faults are studied, generating characteristically patterns that are used for fault identification. Artificial Neural Networks are evolved with an evolutionary algorithm for misalignment pattern recognition, using two databases (training and recovering respectively). The results obtained, indicate a good performance of Artificial Neural Networks with low confusion rates, using experimental patterns obtained from real situations where motors present a certain level of misalignment.
