Fault Diagnosis System of Induction Motors Based on Multiscale Entropy and Support Vector Machine with Mutual Information Algorithm

الملخص EN

An effective fault diagnosis method for induction motors is proposed in this paper to improve the reliability of motors using a combination of entropy feature extraction, mutual information, and support vector machine.

Sample entropy and multiscale entropy are used to extract the desired entropy features from motor vibration signals.

Sample entropy is used to estimate the complexity of the original time series while multiscale entropy is employed to measure the complexity of time series in different scales.

The entropy features are directly extracted from the nonlinear, nonstationary induction motor vibration signals which are then sorted by using mutual information so that the elements in the feature vector are ranked according to their importance and relevant to the faults.

The first five most important features are selected from the feature vectors and classified using support vector machine.

The proposed method is then employed to analyze the vibration data acquired from a motor fault simulator test rig.

The classification results confirm that the proposed method can effectively diagnose various motor faults with reasonable good accuracy.

It is also shown that the proposed method can provide an effective and accurate fault diagnosis for various induction motor faults using only vibration data.
