Abstract

Voltage unbalance faults (VUF) have a significant adverse impact on the performance and operational lifespan of induction motors. This paper presents a hybrid method that integrates multi-sensor analysis to evaluate induction motor behavior under different levels of electrical fault conditions. The research methodology comprises the development of a three-phase induction motor model in MATLAB/Simulink, combined with experimental monitoring of current, voltage, rotational speed, acoustic signals, and torque. The collected data are analyzed using linear regression to quantify performance degradation. The results indicate that increasing fault severity correlates with reductions in motor efficiency and operational stability. Furthermore, a hybrid technique incorporating modulation analysis of acoustic signals derived from vibration and resonance is proposed to improve the accuracy of efficiency and loss estimation. This approach outperforms conventional methods and demonstrates strong potential for industrial applications, as it effectively mitigates the negative effects of voltage supply faults.
