The inter-turn short fault for the Cage-Rotor-Induction-Machine (CRIM) is studied in this paper and its local saturation is taken into account. However, in order to observe the exact behavior of machine, the Magnetic-Equivalent-Circuit (MEC) and nonlinear B-H curve are proposed to provide an insight into the machine model and saturation effect respectively. The electrical machines are generally operated near to their saturation zone due to some design necessities. Hence, when the machine is exposed to a fault such as short circuit or eccentricities, it is operated within its saturation zone and thus, time and space harmonics are integrated and as a result, current and torque harmonics are generated which the phenomenon cannot be explored when saturation is dismissed. Nonetheless, inter-turn short circuit may lead to local saturation and this occurrence is studied in this paper using MEC model. In order to achieve the mentioned objectives, two and also four-pole machines are modeled as two samples and the machines performances are analyzed in healthy and faulty cases with and without saturation effect. A novel strategy is proposed to precisely detect inter-turn short circuit fault according to the stator׳s lines current signatures and the accuracy of the proposed method is verified by experimental results.

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are extensively utilized in production and manufacturing fields due to their wide speed range, high output torque, fast speed response, small size and light weight. PMSMs are susceptible to inter-turn short circuit faults, demagnetization faults, bearing faults, and other faults arising from irregular vibrations and frequent start-brake cycles. While fault diagnosis for PMSMs offers an effective means to enhance operational efficiency, the multi-sensor information fusion is often overlooked.
