The novelty of the work lies in the fact that several electrical and mechanical faults can be successfully detected in order to deal with challenges in the continuous condition monitoring of incipient faults in IM. The methodology includes capturing of vibration signal by accelerometer, conversion of vibration signals to voltage signal and taking the FFT of the signal in digital signal processor to carry out the spectral analysis. The experimental results have been validated by comparing with the results of Tektronix FFT analyzer and simulation. Further the developed system was examined on IMs at Milk processing dairy industry and Ply wood manufacturing industry to validate the system performance.","PeriodicalId":183797,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 4th International Conference on Condition Assessment Techniques in Electrical Systems (CATCON)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125376911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the participating laboratories, retention times were determined on the same insulating materials, which have both a very good agreement and considerable deviations from one another. Even with repeated tests in a laboratory, different retention times are sometimes measured for identical technical insulating materials, whereby the reason for this was not fully evaluated up to now.For this reason this investigation shows the research work based on evaluation of possible reference materials to check the repeatability and reproducibility of different test stands and different test locations.","PeriodicalId":183797,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 4th International Conference on Condition Assessment Techniques in Electrical Systems (CATCON)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125441888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The motor will be energised upon release of brake unit. The brake coil will be energised to release the brake. The coil is of 48 V DC. If the brake is not released properly due to low flux developed in the brake coil, inter-turn short, liner wear; then there is a chance of Induction Motor getting damaged due to high frequency Surge generated due to interruption of locked rotor current. Hence the performance of brake unit in this application is highly critical. Voltage build-up time for brake power supply is checked. Magnetic field developed by various EM brake units has been measured and plotted as a function of applied voltage. Brake coil has been modelled in FEMM and Electromagnetic Finite Element Analysis has been carried out for determining the number of turns and fill factor of the coil. Brake unit has been dismantled and the effect of brake liner and the friction plate on pulling force of coil is observed. The same has been simulated in FEMM for computing the EM force on movable armature (disk) at various distances from the brake coil. Experiments and simulation results were used for diagnosing the cause of non-release of the EM brake. This paper discuses various causes of failure to the brake unit and to avoid recurrence of similar failure event.","PeriodicalId":183797,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 4th International Conference on Condition Assessment Techniques in Electrical Systems (CATCON)","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123216400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the environmental concern are on the rise, to use a recyclable material, Isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) is identified as one of the a recyclable material. This has the advantage of operating under high temperature as well. Nano composite thin films for this work are prepared with i-PP as base with various weight percentages of TiO2 and ZnO nano particles. These specimens are subjected to stresses provided by (i) HVDC (ii)High frequency AC (10kHz and 20kHz), (iii) Superimposed stress (HVDC and High Frequency AC). Sample stressed with high frequency AC leads to rapid degradation.

The sensing film between the parallel plates of the sensor is of porous hexagonal ordered structure. It was grown through the anodization of aluminium (Al) by electrochemical fabrication method. Moisture inside the breather was monitored with the help of designed sensor. A phase detection electronics circuit for converting the capacitor change of sensor into the voltage signal was designed.

In this proposed work, fault related information is extracted from Park’s Vector Modulus (PVM) current using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Different DWT coefficients are generated with specific time-frequency resolution to segregate different fault information features.

The root mean square value of the stator currents together with its Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) are unveiled in this study as the decision variables to accurately transpire various fault conditions. As the functional relationship between the extracted parameters and fault condition cannot not be mapped using binary variables, fuzzy logic is adopted to distinctly identify the fault in the drive.
