Induction machines are widely used in industry. The operating conditions may sometimes lead the machine into different fault situations. The machine should be shut down when a fault is experienced to avoid complete process failure and for the safety of the workers. The predictive maintenance consists of scheduling maintenance activities only when a functional failure is detected. The advantages of predictive maintenance are accepted in many industries because of its efficiency in fault detection during early stages and thus reducing unscheduled down time. It increases productivity, improves quality and provides the feeling of safety and reliability to staff. The main types of external faults experienced by these motors are over loading; single phasing, unbalanced supply voltage, phase reversal, ground fault, under voltage and over voltage. MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation is used in this work for the detection and analysis of the faults on induction motor.

Evaporators for changing the concentration of solutions have a different design, depending on the type of processed substance. Significant energy consumption in such equipment is associated with the need for removing large quantity of liquid phase. Multiple-effect evaporators are used to reduce the energy consumption of the evaporation process, but such equipment is quite expensive. Evaporators with secondary vapor heat reusing that operate in film mode can be an alternative to multi-effect evaporators. This equipment can operate efficiently across minimal temperature differences due to secondary vapor compressors. The disadvantage of this device is strict requirements for impurities in solutions. Impurities create deposits (incrustations) of various substances on the heat transfer surfaces, which worsens the operating conditions. If crystallizing solutions are used in evaporators with reusing of secondary vapor heat, then one of the ways to reduce the rate of heating surfaces incrustation is to add a solid phase to the initial solution. A mathematical model is proposed to describe the processes of heat and mass transfer during the film flow of crystallizing solutions, which are accompanied by a change in the physical characteristics of the solution and the formation of deposits. The model considers a three-phase liquid suspension with a varying phase content. Two stages of vaporization including vaporization on the surface of the liquid and on the surface of heat exchange are presented. The mathematical model involves the equations of continuity, energy and heat transfer, as well as the equations of motion of a three-phase flow with a changing phase content for both stages of vaporization, taking into account that solid phase turbulizes the flow and intensifies the heat transfer process. This mathematical model makes it possible to study the effect of the solid phase on heat transfer processes and the rate of incrustation in evaporators with reuse of secondary vapor heat.

The article compares the results of calculation of the finite element simulation of current and temperature distribution in the scale model of the DC catenary with the data of laboratory tests. Researches were carried on various versions of the structural design of catenary model, reflecting the topological features of the wire connection, characteristic of the DC contact network. The proportions of the cross-sectional area of the scaled model wires are comparable to each other with the corresponding values for real DC catenary. The article deals with the operating conditions of the catenary model in the modes of transit and current collection. When studying the operation of the scale catenary model in the transit mode, the effect of the structural elements on the current distribution and heating of the wires was obtained. Within the framework of the scale model, theoretical assumptions about the current overload of the supporting cable near the middle anchoring have been confirmed. In the current collection mode, the experimental dependences of the current in the transverse wires of the scale model are obtained from the coordinate of the current collection point. Using the model it was experimentally confirmed that in the section of the contact wire with local wear, not only the temperature rise occurs but also the current redistribution due to the smaller cross section. Thus, the current share in other longitudinal wires of the scale model increases and their temperature rises. Scale and mathematical models are constructed with allowance for laboratory clamps and supporting elements that participate in the removal of heat from the investigated wires. Obtained study results of the scale model allow to draw a conclusion about the adequacy of the mathematical model and its correspondence to the real physical process. These conclusions indicate the possibility of applying mathematical model for calculating real catenary, taking into account the uneven contact wear wire and the armature of the contact network.

The application of line-start permanent magnet synchronous motors (LSPMSMs) is rapidly spreading due to their advantages of high efficiency, high operational power factor, being self-starting, rendering them as highly needed in many applications in recent years. Although there have been standard methods for the identification of parameters of synchronous and induction machines, most of them do not apply to LSPMSMs. This paper presents a study and analysis of different parameter identification methods for interior mount LSPMSM. Experimental tests have been performed in the laboratory on a 1-hp interior mount LSPMSM. The measurements have been validated by investigating the performance of the machine under different operating conditions using a developed qd0 mathematical model and an experimental setup. The dynamic and steady-state performance analyses have been performed using the determined parameters. It is found that the experimental results are close to the mathematical model results, confirming the accuracy of the studied test methods. Therefore, the output of this study will help in selecting the proper test method for LSPMSM.

Three-phase induction motors are extensively used in industrial processes due to their robustness, adaptability to different operating conditions, and low operation and maintenance costs. Induction motor fault diagnosis has received special attention from industry since it can reduce process losses and ensure the reliable operation of industrial systems. Therefore, this paper presents a study on the use of meta-heuristic tools in the diagnosis of bearing failures in induction motors. The extraction of the fault characteristics is performed based on mutual information measurements between the stator current signals in the time domain. Then, the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is used to select the relevant mutual information values and optimize the pattern classifier input data. To evaluate the classification accuracy under various levels of failure severity, the performance of two different pattern classifiers was compared: The C4.5 decision tree and the multi-layer artificial perceptron neural networks. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
