A new method for detection of unbalance voltage supply in three phase induction motor
Muhammad Aman Sheikh1, Nursyarizal Mohd Nor2, Taib Ibrahim3.
Induction motors are associated with various techno-economic advantages; therefore
these are widely used in residential, commercial and industrial systems. Cost effective and
reliable process of condition monitoring of induction motor is very important. It is found
that unbalance voltage supply is one of the major factors that produce uneven heating
due to reverse current and leads to inter-turn short circuit. The issue regarding
unbalanced voltage supply has attracted the attention of researcher and engineers in
recent past. In this paper, a new effective non-invasive (online) method is proposed that
only use rotor harmonic current signature for the detection of unbalance voltage supply
instead of main line current signature. This is a sensor-less and online approach that
accomplishes the reliable and accurate analysis of the induction motors. Moreover, it
allows a continuous real time tracking without disturbing the normal operation and
guarantees the overall production process. Additionally, this method recognizes the
unbalance and estimate the severity of the unbalance in the voltage source. The effects
of unbalance voltage supply are investigated through experiments. In order to perform
the analysis and detect the asymmetry due to unbalance voltage, an experimental set
up is designed that can accurately repeat the measurements. In the proposed work,
unbalance voltage supply is diagnosed through experimental hardware setup. To
validate the propose methods an experiment is performed that confirm that motor
operating under unbalance voltage supply give a significant rise in the rotor harmonic
while under balance voltage supply there is so such a rise in the rotor harmonic.
