RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Detection and quantification of bar breakage harmonics evolutions in inverter-fed motors through the dragon transform A1 Fernández Cavero, Vanessa A1 Pons Llinares, Joan A1 Duque Pérez, Óscar A1 Moríñigo Sotelo, Daniel K1 time-frequency analysis K1 transient analysis K1 fault diagnosis K1 broken rotor bar K1 induction motors K1 inverters AB The problem of detecting and quantifying bar breakage harmonics in inverter-fed induction motors has not been solved by the time–frequency transforms present in the technical literature. The paper proposes a new transform, called dragon transform, to solve this problem. The dragon atoms are defined with shapes perfectly adapted to the harmonic trajectories in the time–frequency plane, no matter how complex they are, enabling the precise tracing of the harmonics to be detected. A quantification method is also proposed, which obtains for the first time in the technical literature, the time evolutions of the harmonic amplitudes during a complex transient such as the start-up and the steady state of an inverter-fed motor. The transform performance is validated testing the induction motor under different load levels.
