Simulation of three-phase induction motor different bearing faults in Matlab Simulink environment

Abstract

The article describes the simulation of bearing failures in a three-phase induction motor in the Matlab Simulink environment. According to statistics most of induction motor faults happens due to bearings destruction or stator winding insulation degradation. Vibration analysis is often used to diagnose the bearings condition. This paper considered the model designing principles of different types of bearing faults of induction motor.
