The Performance Evaluation of Machine Learning based Techniques via Stator Current and Stray Flux for Broken Bar Fault in Induction Motors

Abstract

In this paper, the machine learning based techniques are evaluated using stator current and stray flux for broken bar fault in induction motors (IMs). The feature extraction is achieved from Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for both healthy and faulty operations. In order to analyze the performance of different classifier, six fundamental classifications with 23 sub-classifiers are used via a toolbox. It has been observed that 18 out of 23 classifiers have shown great performance (100% accuracy) and two more classifier results at accuracy of greater than 90% for stray flux. Both simulation and experimental results show that stray flux provides better diagnostics results than stator current using different machine learning based classification algorithms in IMs. © 2021 IEEE.
