Popis: Induction motors are one of the most used machines because they provide the necessary traction force for many industrial applications. Their easy operation, installation, maintenance, and reliability make them preferred over other electrical motors. Mechanical and electrical failures, as with other machines, can appear at any stage of their service life, making the stator intern-turn short-circuit fault (ITSC) stand out. Hence, its detection is necessary in order to extend and save useful life, avoiding a breakdown and unprogrammed maintenance processes as well as, in the worst circumstances, a total loss of the machine. Nonetheless, the challenge lies in detecting this type of fault, which has made the analysis and diagnosis processes easier. Such is the case with convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which facilitate the development of methodologies for pattern recognition in several areas of knowledge. Unfortunately, these techniques require a large amount of data for an adequate training process, which is not always available. In this sense, this paper presents a new methodology for the detection of incipient ITSC faults employing a modified cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the current stator signal. Then, these are converted to images and fed into a fast and compact CNN model, trained with a small data set, reaching up to 99.16% accuracy for seven conditions (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 short-circuited turns) and four mechanical load conditions.
