Experimental Verification of the Finite Element Analysis of an Induction Machine with Implemented Static Eccentricity Fault

The paper deals with the experimental verification of vibration frequency spectra of squirrel-cage induction machine having implemented static eccentricity fault. The measured data are compared to the theoretical presumptions and the transient finite element analysis of the measured machine. Measurement and finite element model are carried out for the machine in a perfect technical condition as well and those specify the reference point for the faulty machine.
