ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting a departure from normal operation of an electric motor comprises obtaining a set of normal current measurements for a motor being monitored; forming clusters of the normal current measurements; training a neural network auto-associator using the set of normal current measurements; making current measurements for the motor in operation; comparing the input and output of the auto-associator; and indicating abnormal operation whenever the current measurements deviate more than a predetermined amount from the normal current measurements. The method models a set of normal current measurements for the motor being monitored, and indicates a potential failure whenever measurements from the motor deviate significantly from a model. The model takes the form of an neural network auto-associator which is "trained"--using clusters of current measurements collected while the motor is known to be in a normal operating condition--to reproduce the inputs on the output. A new set of FFT's of current measurements are classified as "good" or "bad" by first transforming the measurement using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and an internal scaling procedure, and then applying a subset of the transformed measurements as inputs to the neural network auto-associator. A decision is generated based on the difference between the input and output of the network.
