On-Line Inter-Turn Short-Circuit Fault Diagnosis in Switched Reluctance Motors

Abstract

In this paper the inter-turn short-circuit fault diagnosis in a 4-phase 8/6 Switched Reluctance Motor is addressed. A new on-line technique for the diagnostics of the occurrence of inter-turn short-circuit faults at an early stage of development is proposed. The validation of the proposed approach is based on a dynamic model, developed in Matlab/Simulink environment.
