ABSTRACT
Online monitoring of the electrical machines can reduces the costs of maintenance by allowing the early
detection of faults, which could be expensive to repair.In this paper a simulink model is developed in
Matlab/SIMULINK for Induction Motor using Fuzzy-logic Controller to analyze the performance under the
turn-turn short in one phase winding, Unbalance in input voltage and open phase faults were simulated.
Keywords— Matlab/Simulink,Induction motor,Fuzzy logic
I. INTRODUCTION
Online fault detection of induction motor have been challenging for engineers. Induction motors are most
widely used electrical machines for industrial automation, domestic and commercial applications. These motors
have advantages such as robustness, simplicity of its construction and highly reliable [1].Althought this motors
are reliable they are subjected to some stress that can cause fault leading to damage. Hence detection of initial
fault can reduce the cost of maintance. Lot of research that are made which indicate that 35% of the fault is
generated in the stator winding[2].For the past 20 years large amount of research into the creation of new
monitoring techniques for Induction Motor This new methods have been developed and are being used in
industries and research is continuing with the development of new and alternative on-line diagnostic
techniques[6]. However it depends on the users who have to make the selection of most appropriate and
effective monitoring technique to suit their particular Induction Motor drive systems.
II. MODELING OF INDUCTION MOTOR FOR VARIOUS FAULT CONDITION
Modeling is a process of analyzing a mathematical description that has the dynamic characteristics of a
component in terms of parameters that can be determine in practice.Every model has parameters that are
determined experimentally and then verified and validated. Verification involves mathmethical solution and
underlining assumption. Validation involves in how adequately the model reflects pertinent aspects of the actual
system[4]. Modeling and simulation are useful where the actual system does not exist, too expensive or time
consuming.
In this modeling of induction motor there are certain assumption are being made whisc are as follows:-
1.Uniform air gap.
2. Balance stator and rotor winding
3. Saturation and parameter change are neglected.
2.1 Induction motor equation
The voltage equation for three phase induction motor is express as follows:
2.1.1 Stator equation

2.1.2 Rotor equation

2.1.3 Flux linkages due to interaction of stator and rotor winding are represented as

2.1.5 Dynamic load equtation
Mutual inductance between any two stator winding is the is the same due to symmetry which is given by:
The mutual inductance between the stator and the rotor varies with the change in the rotor position.

In this model there are parameters that are stored in a m file. This parameters are accessed by this model while
running this model.The parameters that are used in this model are as follows[8]:
Rated Voltage V=230v , Frequency f=50Hz Stator Resistence=15.3ῼ , Rotor Resistance=7.46ῼ . The stator and
rotor self-inductances are equal to Lstator = Lrotor = Lleakage+Lmutual = .035+.55 = .585H, The mutual
inductance between any two stator and any tow rotor windings is equal to Lss,mutual = Lrr,mutual =
0.5Lmutual = -0.275H.The mutual inductance between a stator winding and any rotor winding is equal to L sr
,mutual = Lmutual =0.55H Number of Poles p = 4, Inertial constant J = 0.023kg.m2

allows human ways of thinking in programming a computer[5]. This work require expert knowledge of
different equtation in order to define a system.
4.1 Input Membership Function
Membership function is used to map the data in between 0 and 1.It consist of input and output membership
function.In the input membership function consist of three input variables. They are Ia, Ib and Ic which is the
stator current. In this trapezoidal and triangular membership function is used. The input variables are interpreted
as Zero (Z), Small(S), Medium (M) and Big (B).The range of the input membership function is from 0 to 3.
4.2 Output Membership Function
The output membership function consist of one variable. This output is interpreted as Good, Damaged and
Seriously Damaged.In this trapezoidal Membership Function is used. The range of output membership function
is from 0 to 100.
4.3 Defuzzification and Fuzzy Rules
Defuzzification is defined as the conversion of fuzzy output to crisp output. There are many types of
defuzzification methods available. Here we used Center of Area (COA) method for defuzzification. Despite its
complexity it is more popularly used because, if the areas of two or more contributing rules overlap, the
overlapping area is counted only once.

In this simulation starts with normal state and then fault is created at 1 second. From this results it is see that
after obtaining a steady state at 1 second turn fault is created by changing the above parameters. It is seen that
the during normal operation that is before fault the health of motor is good. As soon as fault is created stator
current is unbalanced and health of motor goes in damaged state and it settles in damaged state. Figure 6 and 7
shows the output of stator current and fuzzy logic output.

VI. CONCLUSION
In this paper the induction motor was simulated by dynamic model. Afterwards, the equations were revisited by
accounting faults in one of the phases. As for the issue of fault realization, the fuzzy logic was used. The
advantages of this method are the high accuracy, easy implementation and independence to motor model during
the fault detection process.
