The Computer System for Monitoring of Induction Motors Condition of Mining Machinery

Abstract

The possibility of carrying out monitoring of parameters and variables of the induction electric motor (IM) working as a part of the electric mining machinery drive is considered. Monitoring is carried out on the working inventory in real time by means of the computer system on the basis of the IM mathematical model, mathematical estimation methods and also information which is contained in easily measured phase tension and IM stator currents. As a result IM indicators are defined difficult or cannot be measured in the mining machinery operation course. These are the active and induced windings resistances of a stator and a rotor, a magnetic linkage, an angular frequency of a rotor rotation and the electromagnetic moment. Algorithms of dynamic IM identification and the software are developed for carrying out monitoring. Theoretical provisions and conclusions are confirmed with results of the pilot studies. Information received during monitoring can be used for perfecting of the electric drive.
