Description
Summary:Abstract Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) is widely utilised in numerous industrial applications due to its precise control capabilities. However, these motors frequently encounter operational faults, potentially leading to severe safety and performance issues. Consequently, effective health monitoring techniques for early fault detection are essential to maintain optimal performance and extend the lifespan of these systems. This study presents a qualification‐based methodology for diagnosing faults in three‐phase PMSMs through vibration–current data fusion analysis. The stator faults, specifically inter‐turn short circuits (ITSC) induced via bypassing resistances, were investigated using experimental data from a custom‐built test rig. The collected current and vibration signals were transformed into statistical features. Various operating scenarios were diagnosed utilising a deep regulated neural network (RegNet), an improved convolutional neural network based on an enhanced residual architecture. The proposed approach was assessed through various metrics including training efficiency, precision, recall, f1‐score, and accuracy, and compared against several neural network methods. The findings reveal that the proposed RegNet model achieves perfect accuracy, attaining 100%. This research highlights the efficacy of data fusion analysis and deep learning in fault diagnosis, facilitating proactive maintenance strategies and improving the reliability of PMSMs in diverse industrial applications and renewable energy systems.
