Abstract

This paper discusses the diagnosis of shorted-turn faults in the electrical machine using Neural Networks (NN). This leads to a design process of a work-flow for the NN. The work-flow has three stages: data acquisition, training algorithm and diagnosis and detection of machine condition. Samples data of electrical machine in healthy and shorted-turn fault conditions were collected by interfacing data acquisition device with a computer laboratory. A two-layer feed-forward network with back-propagation algorithm is created and configured with data collected for NN training. The network model gives a high correlation coefficient of R = 0.9992, R = 0.99917 and R = 0.99923 in the training, validation and test phase respectively as well as the overall correlation which is R = 0.9992. This connotes that the NN model gives a high correlation coefficient between predicted outputs (NN) and targets (Fault Index (FI)). Using the NN model, the healthy and shorted-turn electrical machine are predicted correctly and this is compared with the diagnosis done using FI. Thus, with an NN, a robust and reliable method to diagnose shorted-turn fault in the electrical machine can be achieved.
