Authors have shown rated speed as 1410 rpm from the
name plate details of motor but during the course of
conducting experiment on faulty motor under 65% and
100% load, 1455 rpm and 1425 rpm respectively have been
recorded, which is practically not possible. Also, practically
a motor with three, four, five and six broken bar will not be
able to drive the load because of decrease in average torque
and reduction in speed. In this regard the paper [7] has to be
critically viewed. In [8], authors have detected mixed fault
diagnosis (rotor bar damage and eccentricity fault) with one
broken bar with eccentricity, two broken bar with
eccentricity and three broken bar with eccentricity. It has
been reported in the paper that speed is kept at 1440 rpm in
all cases. But practically it is impossible with broken rotor
bar motor. This is because of reduction in magnetic flux due
to broken bars, as result there will be reduction in speed.
Also, the authors do not clearly indicate the loading details
and speed of the motor under different fault cases.
The other approaches employed by researchers are,
entropy probability distribution of featured current signal
using Hilbert transform discussed in [9]. Measurement of
zero crossing time (ZCT) instants of stator current was
another approach employed in [10]. Authors have noticed
2sfs frequency components in ZCT signal with rotor fault
and indicated it as fault detector. This method demands
additional hardware circuitry to extract ZCT signals and
digital filtering techniques are needed to make system on
line. Hence the complexity and cost increases. Advanced
signal processing technique like wavelet transform and
Finite element method (FEM) have been employed in [11]
and [12]. The fault analysis based on these methods requires
good knowledge on wavelets and FEM to identify the fault
and its severity, which will be complex from the industrial
point of view. Also, FEM takes more computational time
and computer memory to analyze the motor fault detection.
Hence on line fault detection is difficult. In [13], authors
have proposed a new control strategy to control the speed
and torque in inverter driven induction motor. The
computation of variance under normal and faulty condition
shows that variance value is more under faulty condition
than normal. This method is based on dynamic response of
control strategy and is less sensitive for smaller rotor faults.
A clear distinction between fault cases with less number of
broken bars (e.g., zero versus one broken bar) is therefore
not possible in the above method.
Vibration analysis is another approach employed in [14-
17] to detect rotor bar damage in induction motors. The
classical side band harmonic frequency analysis has been
carried out on vibration signals. In [14-17] authors have
employed conventional piezo electric accelerometers for
vibration analysis. But these accelerometers are having
limitation of measuring only short duration vibration
358
measurement. This is due to the fact that sustained
piezoelectric action will cause overheating of crystals and
thus deteriorate their conversion capability [18]. Hence
vibration monitoring using these accelerometers will not be
accurate. In [19], authors have studied the vibrations
developed in induction motors due to rotor imbalance by
changing the external weights to motor shaft using MEMS
accelerometer. Authors have implemented the ZigBee IEEE
802.15.4 protocol for remote sensing of data for condition
monitoring. No studies regarding broken rotor bar detection
have been reported. The severity of broken rotor bar fault
under different load conditions has not been addressed in the
above referred literature.
Recent developments in semiconductor technology have
contributed the state-of-the-art MEMS accelerometers [20].
The MMA6270QT is one among them employed in the
present work. The promising features have drawn the
attention of researchers to employ them in detection and
diagnose faults in motors cost effectively.
The published literature unfolds the fact that MCSA gives
efficient results when motor operates under loaded
condition. But, when motor operates under no load running
condition, the side band frequency component (1 ± 2ks).fs
are very close to the supply frequency component fs, a
natural spectral leakage can hide characteristics frequency
components of the fault. In this case standard MCSA
method fails to detect broken bar faults. Hence, fault
detection based on MCSA is dependent enough on load and
broken bars. The limitations of MCSA and conventional
accelerometers have drawn the attention of researchers for
alternative method. In this direction the present work
proposes extension of vibrations analysis to detect rotor bar
damage in three phase induction motor operating under
variable load conditions using MEMS accelerometer. A
simple and easy method has been proposed to find severity
of fault, which will be based on comparing the magnitude of
side band harmonic frequency with fundamental frequency
component.
II ROTOR BAR DAMAGE ANALYSIS
The classical twice slip side band harmonic frequency
approach employed to detect the broken bar fault [3], [4-13]
is given by fbr  1  2ks  f s (1)
where fbr = broken bar frequency in Hz; k = 1, 2, 3...
any integer, s = slip and fs = supply frequency in Hz. The
lower side band(1-2s)fs is fault related, while the upper side
band (1+2s)fs is due to consequent speed oscillations.
In the present work, a simple method to find out
percentage fault severity factor has been proposed in
equation (2). It can be used as diagnostic index for
preventive maintenance.

III. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP OF PRESENT WORK
An experimental set up of present work is shown in Fig.1
for investigating rotor bar damage in induction motor under
no load, half load and full load conditions. The test setup (a)
consists of motor with rating 3 phase, 1.5 HP, 415 V, 50 Hz,
1440 rpm, 28 bar rotor, 36 stator slots with mechanical load.
A healthy rotor, one broken bar and two broken bar rotors
are used with common healthy stator, which is as shown in
Fig.2 (a) and (b).

The instrumentation includes MEMS accelerometer, a high

resolution FFT analyzer and a personal computer connected
to FFT analyzer through RS-232 cable. In the initial stage of
present work, Tektronics100 MHz storage oscilloscope,
which has inbuilt FFT analysis provision is made use for
carrying out FFT operation on accelerometer output signal.
The sampling rate of 2.5 kilo samples/second over span of 1
kHz, 0.5 kHz and 0.25 kHz for 10 seconds have been used to
study high frequency and low frequency range fault signals
by using rectangular window.

Observations:
When a balanced three phase supply voltage is applied to
healthy induction motor, uniform current flows in all the
phases. This will set up a uniform magnetic field both in
stator and rotor. The interaction of mmf in rotor circuit with
stator magnetic flux will produce steady positive motor
torque, which drives the rotor in forward direction producing
useful mechanical output. A fine radial vibration will be
setup in the stator. The spectral analysis of vibration signal
yields dominant 49.81 Hz frequency component with
magnitude of 68.21 dB and no side band harmonic

experiments are conducted on healthy motor with 5 HP, 415
V, three phase squirrel cage induction motor under no load,
50% load and 100% load and the corresponding FFT
spectrum are shown in Fig.3 (b),(c) and (d). The percentage

are 15.18 %, 16.59 % and 19.09 %. The 49.81 Hz which is
very close to 50 Hz frequency component is a positive
sequence component which is essential for driving rotor in
forward direction and this component is an indicator of (a)

Observations:
Referring to case-2, due to broken bar rotor, an unequal
amount of current flows in rotor will set up an asymmetrical
magnetic field. The interaction between asymmetrical rotor
mmf and stator field produces a pulsating torque. This will

motor vibration shows frequency component of 49.81Hz
with amplitude 64.01dB amplitude for one broken rotor bar
and 49.81Hz with amplitude 61.21dB amplitude for two
broken rotor bar as shown in Fig.4 (a) and 4(b). The left

frequency components exists due to rotor asymmetry and
speed fluctuation. Table-1 presents the fault frequency and
its amplitude for one and two broken rotor bar under no load
