Abstract

This study shows a methodology for the detection, classification, and location of bearings that presented ball faults, cage faults, and outer race faults. For this study, a three-phase induction motor was used, in which the stator current and voltage signals were measured. By calculating the total harmonic distortion and using the Stockwell Transform, different characteristics were obtained in the electrical signals that allowed defining fault conditions in the bearing, classification of the type of fault, and the location of the defective bearing (fan side or load side). By calculating the difference between the total harmonic distortion of the current and voltage signal, it is possible to identify a threshold value of 0.004 that separates a healthy condition and a fault condition. The joint use of the Stockwell Transform and the Fisher Scoring Algorithm allows us to classify the fault conditions with an average precision of 92.5%. The location of a bearing with defects on the load side generates a greater amplitude in the signal compared to those located on the fan side. This behavior allows establishing a threshold value of 1.6 for ball faults and 0.001 for cage faults and outer race. Due to the results obtained, the algorithm proposed in the study is considered to be a tool with a high degree of reliability for the diagnosis of bearings in induction motors.
