Zusammenfassung: | In most manufacturing industries, squirrel cage induction motors (SCIMs) are essential due to their robust nature, high torque generation, and low maintenance costs, so their failure often times affects productivity, profitability, reliability, etc. While various research studies presented techniques for addressing most of these machines’ prevailing issues, fault detection in cases of low slip or, low load, and no loading conditions for motor current signature analysis still remains a great concern. When compared to the impact on the machine at full load conditions, fault detection at low load conditions helps mitigate the impact of the damage on SCIM and reduces maintenance costs. Using stator current data from the SCIM’s direct online starter method, this study presents a feature engineering-aided fault classification method for SCIM at minor-load conditions based on a filter approach using the support vector classification (SVC) algorithm as the classifier. This method leverages the loop-hole of the Fourier Transform at minor-load conditions by harnessing the uniqueness of the Hilbert Transform (HT) to present a methodology that combines different feature engineering technologies to excite, extract, and select 10 discriminant information using a filter-based approach as the selection tool for fault classification. With the selected features, the SVC performed exceptionally well, with a significant diagnostic performance accuracy of 97.32%. Further testing with other well-known robust classifiers such as decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), gradient boost classifier (GBC), stochastic gradient descent (SGD), and global assessment metrics revealed that the SVC is reliable in terms of accuracy and computation speeds. |
