Classification of stator coil degradation of traction motor by PD signal distribution analysis

PD 분포 분석에 의한 견인전동기 고정자 코일의 열화도 분류에 관한 연구

Degradation and insulation failure of traction motor depend on the continuous stress imposed on it. And knowing on insulation condition is important thing for safety operation of EMU(electric multiple unit). In this paper, PD(partial discharge) characteristics for degradation analysis of stator coil is studied. For PD data acquisition, two models are made; one is normal condition coil, the other is aged condition coil. And PD data for discrimination were acquired from PD detector. And these data making use of a computer-aided discharge analyser, statistical and other discharge parameters is calculated to discrimination between different discharge sources. And also these parameter is applied to classify PD sources by neural networks. Neural Networks has good recognition rate for degradation of stator coil.
