Electric Stator Faults Detection in Induction Motor based on Fuzzy Logic Technique

Abstract

Fault detection in induction motors is becoming increasingly important. This work presents a method for detecting stator winding faults based on stator current analysis. A fuzzy logic approach is used to make decisions about the state of the stator winding. It is based on knowledge expressed in rules and membership functions, which describe the behavior of the stator winding. MATLAB SIMULINK’s simulation of the fuzzy logic algorithm to detect and analyze the electrical faults of the motor shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
