A novel diagnosis method based on the rotor slip is proposed in the paper to correctly detect current and speed sensor failures during the induction motor drive (IMD) operation. In order to enhance reliability and avoid confusion in the diagnosis algorithm due to the influence of measured signal quality, each fault type is determined in a priority order defined by the diagnosis method. Based on the features of the IMD applying the field-oriented control (FOC) technique, an innovative model uses the measured currents and reference speed as the input signals to estimate the rotor slip for the current sensor fault detection.

The Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) International partnership is a project of the Minnesota Population Center and national statistical agencies, dedicated to collecting and distributing census data from around the world. IPUMS is currently disseminating data on over a half-billion persons enumerated in more than 250 census samples from 79 countries. The data series includes information on a broad range of population characteristics, including fertility, nuptiality, life-course transitions, migration, labor-force participation, occupational structure, education, ethnicity, and household composition.
