Abstract

The chapter deals with rotor mass unbalance fault. Diagnosis is done both using steady-state signal as well as starting current transients. Concordia is formed using steady-state current and analyzed. The Concordia -based assessment is done using starting current transients. Then radars are formed in Park plane wherefrom the faults are differentiated compared with those of normal motor. Then harmonics generated due to rotor broken bar has been assessed using FFT and wavelet transforms .
