As an information carrier, current signal directly reflects the electromechanical coupling between the stator and rotor of an induction motor. In this study, a detection method of winding fault based on current information is proposed to identify fault and realize feature decoupling for an induction motor. Unlike most current analysis methods, this method combines the electromagnetic field distribution with the feature frequency of the current signal to achieve the detection of the stator winding fault. With mathematical models, the phase, amplitude, and frequency of the three-phase current are mapped into a spatial coordinate system, which can help to identify the faults of the induction motor by a balance structure. To further identify the fault features, the projections of the coupled magnetic fields are combined with the feature frequencies, which can be used to extract accurately the electromechanical information on the stator and rotor. And the proposed methods are verified by a test bench of motor fault. The results show that the proposed methods can effectively detect a stator winding fault of the frequency conversion motor using the distributions of the magnetic motive forces and the feature frequencies of the current signals. The method proposed in this study provides a new tool for the fault detection and condition monitoring of induction motors.

In modern power systems, it is crucial to monitor and detect internal faults in power transformers promptly and accurately to ensure reliability and prevent disruptions. Failure to identify these faults promptly can reduce the transformer's lifespan, cause system disconnection, and compromise network stability. This paper introduces an innovative method for the discrimination, classification, and localization of internal short-circuit faults in power transformers, with a focus on three types of winding faults: turn-to-turn fault, series short circuits, and shunt short circuits.

This article presents a comprehensive dataset acquired from two fault diagnosis environments: (1) industrial AC motors operating under various real-world conditions, and (2) belt-loosening scenarios in HVAC air handling units. The dataset was collected to support the development and validation of data-driven fault detection methods across diverse mechanical and electrical systems. For the AC motor dataset, faults were deliberately introduced to simulate common degradation modes, including coil winding faults, inter-phase short circuits, misalignment, and bearing-related issues such as rolling-element and journal bearing faults.

The main problem associated with a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) during fault is large inrush currents induced in rotor winding, which has detrimental effects on the machine's AC excitation converter. A simple conventional resistance inclusion (crowbar) is employed with a PI controller to protect a DFIG from transient current, but it is observed that this method is not enough to keep transient over-current to an admissible level. In this paper, an effective current limiting technique along with reactive power control is proposed in order to maintain stability, reduce transient current surge to an acceptable level, and enhance the Fault Ride Through capacity of DFIG.
