    摘要: A method of identifying a fault in a synchronous reluctance electric machine, the method including carrying out a first vibration measurement on a stator in a first radial direction of the stator; carrying out a second vibration measurement on the stator in a second radial direction of the stator; determining, on the basis of at least one of the first vibration measurement and the second vibration measurement, a first vibration frequency; determining, on the basis of the first vibration measurement and the second vibration measurement, a mode shape of the vibration at the first vibration frequency; and determining, on the basis that the first vibration frequency fb and the mode shape m fulfil the following barrier fault conditions: fb=fr, and m=1 where fr is a rotation frequency of a rotor, that a flux barrier of the rotor is defect.

    摘要: A rotor bar fault in a rotor of an electrical machine having a plurality of rotor bars and an end ring configured to short circuit the rotor bars. The method includes the steps of measuring a first temperature at a first end ring location, and measuring a second temperature at a second end ring location, the second end ring location being different from the first end ring location. As broken rotor bars cause a non-uniform temperature distribution in the end ring, the detection of rotor bar faults can be based on monitored temperatures at different end ring locations.

    摘要: A field of electric drive devices and electric machines, such as electric motors and electric generators for industrial applications and more particularly to a method and an arrangement for controlling vibration of a variable frequency drive controlled electric machine. In the method for controlling vibration of a variable frequency drive controlled electric machine, the resonance frequency/frequencies and the stiffness are determined in a ramp up/ramp down test; amount of damping is determined in an impulse test; a mechanical transfer function is determined in a steady drive test; a vibration control model is determined utilizing said resonance frequency/frequencies, said stiffness, the amount of damping and the mechanical transfer function; and vibration is controlled utilizing the vibration control model.

    摘要: A method for discovering demagnetisation faults of a permanent magnet synchronous generator, such as a wind power generator. The method is performed during operation of the synchronous generator and includes measuring the vibration of the stator, performing a frequency analysis of the vibration, and deducing whether the generator suffers from demagnetization of a permanent magnet, from the vibration analysis. Moreover, geometric eccentricity faults and electric short circuit faults may also be detected from the vibration.
