ABSTRACT:
An improved method for detecting an incipient failure in a multiphase electric motor includes the following steps: periodically measuring or continuously monitoring voltage and current values at each input to the motor; determining negative sequence voltage and current values for each periodic measured input voltage and current value; calculating an effective negative sequence impedance phasor value angle from each of the determined negative sequence voltages and current values; and comparing the calculated negative sequence impedance phasor angles and/or real and imaginary components over a plurality of periodic measurements to detect a change therein, which change is indicative of an incipient failure mode.
