Abstract
As regards bearing fault detection of induction motors using stator current, anything unrelated to the faults is the “noise”. The noise attenuation leads to an improved estimation of the bearing fault signal. The gist of this study is the integration and synchronization of the three residues obtained from the current noise cancelation methods: Time Shifting and Linear Prediction. This procedure results in a richer bearing fault signal than any of the individual residues through cross-correlation. The developed method efficiently synchronizes and integrates the current residues so that fault characteristic frequencies can be more conspicuous in spectral analysis. Both simulation and experimental results attest to the merit and effectiveness of the developed method in detecting both outer and inner race bearing faults.
