Abstract
The present work develops a methodology for the analysis
of transient signals for fault detection and diagnosis in
electrical motors. The objective of this work is the
initial development of a Prognostic and Health Monitoring
System (PHMS) for the demagnetization of the magnetic
field source of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
(PMSM) used in electrical vehicles. The developed
methodology is based on the Hilbert-Huang Transform
(HHT), a technique which is particularly suitable for
processing oscillating transient signals, such as the
stator currents typical of automotive electric traction
machines. The HHT represents a time-dependent series in a
two-dimensional time-frequency domain by extracting
instantaneous frequency components within the signal
through an Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) process.
The developed framework has been applied to four
transients simulating different levels of demagnetization
of the permanent magnet of the PMSM; the obtained results
show that HHT enables us to detect and assess the
degradation level for a demagnetized core of a PMSM
