Model-Predicted Induction Motor Behaviour under Different Operating Conditions

This paper presents a simulation study to verify the capability of the instantaneous phase variation (IPV) for the detection of broken rotor bar faults in a squirrel cage induction motor. The three-phase squirrel cage motor model has been derived using a multi coupled circuits approach. The obtained results show that IPV has a good detection and diagnosis capabilities especially at full load conditions.
