The present paper deals with healthy and improper bearing lubrication signals analysis using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) enhanced by MATLAB/ Wavelets toolbox analysis. The identification of bearing faults from the time or the frequency domain are difficult due to non stationary vibration signal. Therefore, for more accurate faults information and identification of bearing with lubrication defects (improper or absence of lubrication), the DWT is used. The validation of this procedure is conducted by an experimental setup designed for vibration signal acquisition and the complete analysis is finalized by MATLAB/ Wavelets toolbox. The recorded data used for the validation are the signals of healthy and un-lubricated bearing driven at a rotation speed of 1500 rpm by 0.78 KW three phase induction motor. From the obtained results it can be observed that, for medium speeds DWT decomposition enhanced by MATLAB Wavelets Toolbox procedure is efficient for improper lubricated bearing related faults diagnosis and detection.

Currently induction motors are widely used in industry due to strong construction, high efficiency, and cheap maintenance. Machine maintenance is needed to prolong the life of the induction motor. As studied, bearing faults may account for 42% -50% of all motor failures. In general it is due to manufacturing faults, lack of lubrication, and installation errors. Misalignment of motor is one of the installation errors. This paper is concerned to simulation of discrete wavelet transform for identifying misalignment in induction motor. Modelling of motor operation is introduced in this paper as normal operation and two variations of misalignment. For this task, haar and coiflet discrete wavelet transform in first level until fifth level is used to extract vibration signal of motor into high frequency of signal. Then, energy signal and other signal extraction gotten from high frequency signal is evaluated to analysis condition of motor. The results show that haar discrete wavelet transform at thirth level can identify normal motor  and misalignment motor conditions well

AbstractA degradation of metallurgical equipment is normal process depended on time. Some factors such as: operation process, friction, high temperature can accelerate the degradation process of metallurgical equipment. In this paper the authors analyzed three phase induction motors. These motors are common used in the metallurgy industry, for example in conveyor belt. The diagnostics of such motors is essential. An early detection of faults prevents financial loss and downtimes. The authors proposed a technique of fault diagnosis based on recognition of currents. The authors analyzed 4 states of three phase induction motor: healthy three phase induction motor, three phase induction motor with 1 faulty rotor bar, three phase induction motor with 2 faulty rotor bars, three phase induction motor with faulty ring of squirrel-cage. An analysis was carried out for original method of feature extraction called MSAF-RATIO15 (Method of Selection of Amplitudes of Frequencies – Ratio 15% of maximum of amplitude). A classification of feature vectors was performed by Bayes classifier, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Nearest Neighbour classifier. The proposed technique of fault diagnosis can be used for protection of three phase induction motors and other rotating electrical machines. In the near future the authors will analyze other motors and faults. There is also idea to use thermal, acoustic, electrical, vibration signal together.

This article proposed a method to detect the faults in multi-winding induction motor using Discrete Wavelet transform combined with Deep Belief Neural Network (DBNN). This technique relies on the instantaneous reactive power signal decomposition, from which detail coefficients and wavelet approximations are extracted which are termed as features. In order to obtain a robust diagnosis, this article proposed to classify the feature vectors extracted from DWT analysis of power signals using DBNN (Deep Belief Neural Network) to distinguish the motors state. Subsequently, in order to validate the proposed approach, a three phase squirrel cage induction machine is simulated under MATLAB software. To check the effectiveness of the proposed method of fault diagnosis the motor is simulated in different simulation environments like time varying load and constant load condition. Promising results were obtained and the performance of DBNN i.e. 99.75% accuracy. The proposed algorithm is compared with various other state-of-art methods and the comparison proves its robustness in diagnosing the fault in motors.

This paper aims to present a prognostic method for induction motor shafts that experience fatigue failure in the keyway area, using motor vibration signals. Preprocessing the data to eliminate noise in raw signals is done by decomposing the signal, using discrete wavelet transforms. Prognostic indicator candidates are obtained through the selection of features based on its importance, which involve the superposition of monotonicity and trendability parameters. The prognostics model is built based on the least squares support vector machine regression approach. Remaining useful life (RUL) estimates of motor shafts were performed by fitting the sum of two exponential functions to the regression results and extrapolating over time until the specified failure threshold hits. The results of the study show that the proposed method can work satisfactorily to estimate the RUL of motor shaft. The best prognostic indicator namely the RMS, can be used to predict the motor shaft RUL since 50% of the time step before the end of the motor shaft life is error bound within 20%.

Abstract Nowadays detection of deterioration of electrical motors is an important topic of research. Vibration signals often carry diagnostic information of a motor. The authors proposed a setup for the analysis of vibration signals of three-phase induction motors. In this paper rotor fault diagnostic techniques of a three-phase induction motor (TPIM) were presented. The presented techniques used vibration signals and signal processing methods. The authors analyzed the recognition rate of vibration signal readings for 3 states of the TPIM: healthy TPIM, TPIM with 1 broken bar, and TPIM with 2 broken bars. In this paper the authors described a method of the feature extraction of vibration signals Method of Selection of Amplitudes of Frequencies – MSAF-12. Feature vectors were obtained using FFT, MSAF-12, and mean of vector sum. Three methods of classification were used: Nearest Neighbor (NN), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and Linear Support Vector Machine (LSVM). The obtained results of analyzed classifiers were in the range of 97.61 % – 100 %.
