Development of a functional system for diagnosing the presence of rotor damage in induction traction motors

Denys Lakusta Sergiy Maliuk

The  aim  of  this  work  is  to  develop  a  system  for  functional  diagnostics  of  rotor  bar  breakage  in induction traction motors of railway rolling stock. In order to achieve this aim, the following tasks have been solved: developed an algorithm for diagnosing the condition of rotor bars based on the statistics of fractional moments; developed a block diagram of the unit for diagnosing the condition of rotor bars of the induction motor based on the statistics of fractional moments; developed a block diagram of thesystem for functional diagnosis of rotor bars condition as part of the traction motor with direct torque control.  The  most  important  result  consists  in  obtaining  a  mathematical  model of  fractional  moment statistics  with  less  volume  of  calculations  and  improved  sensitivity  of  the  method.  This  result  was achieved by determining the information-frequency range, which made it possible to analyze not all the spectral  components  of  the  analyzed  signal,  but  only  that  part  of  it  where  there  may  be  spectral components typical for the breakage of rotor bars of the inductionmotor. This approach to diagnosing the condition of rotor bars can also be applied in traction motors of rolling stock with vector control system of inductionmotors
