Induction machine on-line condition monitoring and fault diagnosis - a survey

Induction machines play a pivotal role in industry and there is a strong demand for their reliable and safe operation. They are generally reliable but eventually do wear out. Faults and failures of induction machines can lead to excessive downtimes and generate large losses in terms of maintenance and lost revenues, and this motivates the examination of on-line condition monitoring. On-line condition monitoring involves taking measurements on a machine while it is operating in order to detect faults with the aim of reducing both unexpected failures and maintenance costs. This paper surveys the current trends in on-line fault detection and diagnosis of induction machines and identifies future research areas.
