A model for induction motor with stator faults

A transient MATLAB/SIMULINK model of induction motor with stator winding turn faults is developed. The model has features of simulating variable load level, stator winding turn faults in each phase and different number of short turns. The transient response is examined in terms of current under variable load level. The harmonic frequency in simulated stator current indicates stator winding turn fault. The model is validated by comparing simulated and measured stator current with different number of short turns and load levels. The model can be further used in model-aid induction motor fault diagnosis system.
