Abstract
Reliable and safe operation of electric motors in the industry is highly desirable. Accurate modelling is the first step in developing a diagnostic tool for different types of failures. This study presents a generalised dq-model for interior-mount line start permanent magnet synchronous motors under asymmetrical stator phase's windings. The presented dq-model has been derived using winding theorem. Implementation and simulation of the derived dq-model has been done using MATLAB/ SIMULINK software. For validation purposes, interior-mount line start permanent magnet synchronous motor (LSPMSM) under this fault condition is implemented using the JMAGTM-finite-element-based software. The performance of a 1-hp interior-mount LSPMSM motor under different loading levels and stator winding asymmetric conditions has been investigated using the simulated MATLAB and JMAG models. Simulation results of MATLAB and JMAG are in very good agreement and show that under asymmetrical stator winding condition, oscillations are obvious in the torque characteristics of the motor. In addition, the torque experience high oscillations at a steady state due to the asymmetry between stator phases. Finally, investigating torque frequency spectrum showed that they can be good signatures in diagnosing asymmetrical stator winding faults in interior-mount LSPMSM.
