ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents a critical analysis related to induction motor fault diagnosis. It provides a noninvasive method for the online diagnosis of gear faults and bearings localized faults, under various loading conditions of induction motors, via instantaneous power analysis (IPA). The book deals with theoretical and experimental investigation of gear faults and bearings localized faults under various loading conditions via the IPA method. The Park vector analysis method has the capability to diagnose bearing distributed faults. The book also presents methods that can enhance the decision-making capability of online condition monitoring and fault diagnosis system for induction motors that are used in several applications. It covers the design of a threshold-based decision-making system detecting the existence of fault signatures in arbitrary environment conditions. The book creates the foundation for a more cultivated fault-classification method, especially for distributed faults.
