Book excerpt: AC motors, specifically Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) have been gainingpopularity in industrial applications due to their high efficiency, high power density and hightorque generation capabilities. Apart from industrial applications, the market share of these motorshas seen significantly increasing use in emerging technologies such as Electric vehicles (EVs),Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) as traction motors, and use in electric ships, and electricairplanes. To ensure safety and reliability of operation in safety critical applications, continuoushealth condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of these motors is essential. A robust and accuratefault diagnosis and condition monitoring reduces downtime and unplanned catastrophic failures,shutdowns, and maintenance, which saves both time, money, and labor. Through the availabledrive sensors such as current and voltage sensors, current and voltage information can be acquiredand used to diagnose different faults in the motor. This dissertation presents condition monitoringof stator Inter-Turn Short Circuit (ITSC) faults in PMSM motors.ITSC faults make up more than 40% of all PMSM electrical faults, mainly caused by extrememechanical, thermal, and electrical stresses. Other factors such as high dv/dt and chemicalsaccelerate insulation material aging and result in ITSC faults. ITSC fault causes high circulatingcurrents to be induced in the stator of the motors, and if not properly managed, can result in localoverheating which leads to further winding degradation and melting, which can result in completeshutdown of the machines operation. Thus, to avoid unexpected machine shutdowns, ITSC faultmust be monitored, diagnosed, and managed.This dissertation employs continuous monitoring of machines electrical parameters such as thestator resistance (Rs) and both d-axis and q-axis inductances (Ld and Lq) to detect any changeswhich may be a result of ITSC faults. Upon detecting changes in parameters, ITSC fault isdiagnosed by isolating it from other closely similar faults such as eccentricity faults.The techniques employed in this dissertation eliminates the use of extra sensors in the drive, andonly uses current sensors to acquire feedbacks, and uses voltages inside the micro-controller toestimate different parameters for diagnosis purposes.
