Abstract: Diagnosis of stator current has been presented by several authors for identifying various bearing and rotor faults in an induction motor. However, there is very limited literature covering the effect of interturn faults on the stator current pattern. This is due to the reason that the effect of motor interturn insulation faults in the initial stages being not discernable and any changes in the capacitive current components are negligibly very small and of very high frequency content. This paper deals with a simple technique, utilizing the effect of the interturn fault in modifying the high frequency components of the applied pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage. Insulation Resistance (IR) and Polarization Index (PI) are two universally accepted diagnostic tests for insulation tests. The change in insulation strength between the turns affects the capacitive component of the stator line current. Resulting changes in wave shapes of applied voltage have been studied wit!
h respect to both the distance of interturn faults from line end and reduction in the insulation strength; and hence in the insulation resistance value. The studies have been made by computer simulation and validated by experiments. There is ample evidence that an impending and progressing interturn fault can be identified in Adjustable Speed Drives driven by frequency converters by studying line end coil voltage waveforms.
