3.1. Determination of the Amplitude of the Stator Phase Currents and the Angles of the Phase Shift between Current and Voltage in Each Stator Phase with the Symmetry of the Supply Voltage System for a Different Number of Turns on One of the Stator Phases
In a real induction machine, phase currents and voltages are described in three-phase ABC coordinates. The transition from three-phase coordinates to rotating two-phase coordinates dq is called the Park transformation, with the d coordinate directed along the stator phase A voltage.
When diagnosing malfunctions of an induction motor using the Park vector on a plane with coordinates dq, the Park vector hodograph was constructed. With a serviceable induction machine, the Park vector hodograph describes a regular circle, and in the presence of various types of faults, an ellipse [
28,
29,
30]. This is explained by the fact that only when the system of stator windings of an asynchronous motor is balanced, the condition I
d sin(ω t) = I
q sin(ω t + π/2) is fulfilled. In this case, the hodograph of the Park vector will describe a circle. With an asymmetric stator winding system, I
d sin(ω t) ≠ I
q sin(ω t + π/2), then the hodograph of the Park vector will describe an ellipse.
The hodograph of the Park vector in the presence of faults in an induction machine is shown in
Figure 1.
The following designations are adopted in
Figure 1:
θ—the orientation angle of the Park vector (ellipse): the angle between the OIsd axis and the main semi-axis of the ellipse);
ε—the ellipticity angle: the angle between the main semi-axis of the ellipse and the diagonal of the rectangle closest to it;
υ—the angle between the main semi-axis of the ellipse and the instantaneous position of the Park vector ;
Ipmin,—the values of the Park vector when it coincides with the q axis;
Ipmax—the values of the Park vector when it coincides with the d axis.
The transition from ABC coordinates to dq coordinates is carried out using the formulas [

B, I
C—the value of the phase currents of the induction motor, presented in ABC coordinates;
φ—the phase angle of the projection of the rotating vector onto the direction of the principal semi-axis of the ellipse.
Full phase of the space vector of the stator current [
35,
36,
37]:
where ω—the angular frequency of rotation of the coordinate plane. When choosing the rotation frequency of the coordinate plane, the following considerations were taken into account. For this problem, it is necessary to express the projections of the Park vector on both axes of the coordinate plane as a function of the angular frequency of the stator phase currents. Therefore, the angular frequency of rotation of the coordinate plane was taken to be equal to zero.
The total phase of the Park vector in some (not constant during one oscillation period) scale determines the angle υ(t) between the main semi-axis of the ellipse and the instantaneous position of the Park vector
. The angles φ(t) and υ(t) are not equal in magnitude, since the Park vector rotates at different speeds during one period. Only at those times when the Park vector
coincides with the semi-axes of the ellipse does the equality φ = υ take place. At other times, the value of the angle υ is found from the relationship [

where sign[a] is «sign a», so
In order to determine the phase of the spatial current vector on the diagram (
Figure 1), in addition to the direction of the main semi-axis of the ellipse and the direction of the field vector, the instantaneous position of the Park vector
at time t = 0 is shown. Then, the angle between the Park vector (
and the main semi-axis will approximately determine the phase φ of the space vector of the stator current. Positive values of φ are plotted in the direction of field rotation.
In the following, the angle υ is called the phase of the Park vector, and the angle φ is called the angle of the space vector of the stator current.
For research, the original simulation model of an induction motor [
33] was supplemented with “Block for determining the coordinates of the Park vector” (
Figure 2).
To set asymmetric power modes for an induction motor, the following changes were made to the original simulation model. In the original simulation model, the electrical part is made on the elements of the Specialized Power System library. To carry out the planned studies, the phase voltages of the stator of an induction electric motor are made in the form of a sinusoidal voltage generator of the Simulink library. The voltage of one of the phases (in this case, phase A) is multiplied by the coefficient kU, which sets the asymmetric mode of the power system. To match the signal levels of different libraries, the signals from the generator outputs are fed to controlled voltage sources. After that, the stator supply voltages are applied to the corresponding terminals of the stator winding of the induction electric motor. The values of the controlled signals are fed into the Workspace, where, after processing, they are displayed on the corresponding graphs.
When conducting research, the change in the amplitude of phase currents during transient processes in an induction motor was taken into account, which leads to a change in the shape of the Park vector hodograph. For this purpose, starting diagrams of stator currents (
Figure 3), torque (
Figure 4) and motor shaft speed (
Figure 5) were obtained in the simulation model.
According to the starting diagrams, the time of the transient process was determined, which amounted to 0.36 s.
To construct the hodograph of the Park vector, a time interval was adopted corresponding to two periods of the supply voltage of the stator of the induction motor, i.e., the studies were carried out in the time interval from 0.36 s to 0.4 s.
The first experiment consisted of constructing the Park vector hodograph with a symmetrical power supply system for the following number of turns of the stator winding of phase A of an induction electric motor: w
sA1 = 96, w
sA2 = 91, w
sA3 = 86, w
sA4 = 81, w
sA5 = 76, the number of which corresponds to the number of remaining undamaged turns after an interturn short circuit of varying degrees with undamaged turns of the windings of phases B and C (w
sB = 96, w
sC = 96 (see
Table 1)).
For the above modes of operation, plots of the Park vector hodographs are plotted (
Figure 6).

sd = 0. The results are listed in
Table 2.
In the simulation model, the values of the amplitudes and phases of the stator phase currents were determined. The results are listed in
Table 2.
The analysis of the results given in
Table 2 shows that the values of the current I
sq0 for all modes are less than the values of the current I
sd0 of the corresponding modes. This means that the ellipticity angle will be less than the value of π/4 rad. In addition, the tilt angle of the ellipse is zero. This means that the family of Park vector hodographs (
Figure 6) is represented in an orthogonal–circular basis.
The calculation of the ellipticity angle for an orthogonal–circular basis was carried out according to the formula [
35,
36,
37]:
For the Park vector, represented in the orthogonal–circular basis Ipmax = Isd0, Ipmin = Isd0, a circle is formed. In this case, the circle is a partial case of an ellipse. For this case, it can be argued that the ellipticity angle for an orthogonal–circular basis ε and the ellipticity angle for an orthogonal–elliptic basis γ are equal, i.e., ε = γ.
The phase shift angles of the stator currents were determined from the Expressions [

The results of calculations for the presented ratios are listed in

This made it possible to neglect the component ω∙t + φsnom when calculating the amplitudes of the stator phase currents.
The inverse Park transform has the form [
35,
36,
37]:
When converting the components of a three-phase fixed coordinate system into components of an arbitrarily moving orthogonal coordinate system, the Park transformation is used. In the theory of a generalized electric machine, when modeling an induction motor, several systems of moving coordinates are used. In particular, this is a coordinate system oriented along the rotor field (dq coordinates), which is a coordinate system oriented according to the stator voltage (xy coordinates). In these models, the projections of currents on the corresponding axes are functions of the angular frequency of the rotation of the motor shaft. This makes it possible to take into account slip losses, saturation of the magnetic circuit, etc., in these models. Since this study uses a mathematical model in three-phase coordinates, which takes into account slip losses, saturation of the magnetic wire, and magnetic losses, there is no need to take these factors into account again. On the other hand, among the tasks set, there was no task to establish the relationship between stator currents and the frequency of the rotation of the motor shaft. Therefore, the direct transformation of the Park was used with a frequency of rotation of the coordinates that was equal to the frequency of the supply voltage of the induction motor. Therefore, in Expression (10) ω is the frequency of the supply voltage.
Since the coordinate system in Park transformations is oriented along the voltage of phase A, in Expression (10) one should use the phase shift angle of phase A φA as the phase shift angle between the phase voltage and phase current φ.
Taking into account Expression (9), the amplitudes of the stator phase currents were determined by the formulas
The displacements of the phase shift angles of the phase currents were determined by the formulas:

3.4. Determination of the Amplitude of the Stator Phase Currents and the Phase Shift Angles between Current and Voltage in Each Stator Phase for Cases in Paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 with a Symmetrical Supply Voltage System of an Induction Motor
In Experiments 2 (
Section 3.2) and 3 (
Section 3.3), the Park vector hodograph was obtained in an orthogonal–elliptic basis. The presence of asymmetry in the power supply system of an induction motor was evidenced by the angle of inclination of the Park vector hodograph relative to the OI
sd axis (
Figure 7 and
Figure 8 and
Table 3 and
Table 4), the value of which is not equal to zero [
31]. The analysis of the nature of the behavior of the Park vector hodograph in case of an unbalance of the power supply system is based on the analysis of the symmetrical components of the supply voltage system of an induction motor. Since the sources of phase voltages are connected by a “Y”, there is no zero sequence for both balanced and unbalanced supply voltage systems. With a balanced supply voltage system, there is only a positive sequence, since the negative sequence is zero. With an unbalanced supply voltage system, the negative sequence is not equal to zero. This factor leads to the fact that with a balanced system of supply voltages, the angle of inclination of the ellipse relative to the axis Id is equal to zero, and with an unbalanced system of supply voltages, the angle of inclination of the ellipse relative to the axis Id is not equal to zero. With a balanced system of supply voltages and with a symmetrical system of stator windings, the hodograph of the Park vector describes a circle, and with an asymmetric system of stator windings, an ellipse. With an unbalanced system of supply voltages, both with a symmetrical and asymmetric system of stator windings, the hodograph of the Park vector will describe an ellipse.
When recalculating the amplitudes and phases of the phase currents obtained in the presence of asymmetry of the voltage system of the induction motor, the instantaneous values of the currents i′
sd0 and i′
sq0 were calculated in an orthogonal–circular basis according to the formulas [

0. For an orthogonally circular basis, ε

3.5. Algorithm for Determining the Degree of Damage to the Stator Winding with an Asymmetric System of Electric Motor Supply Voltages
For further research, according to the results of
Table 2, the dependences of the deviations of the amplitudes of the phase currents as a function of the number of damaged turns of the stator windings (
Figure 9) and the displacements of the angles of the phase shift of the stator currents, as a function of the number of damaged turns of the stator windings (
Figure 10) were plotted. The construction of dependences was performed for the values determined from the time diagrams.
From
Figure 9 and
Figure 10 it follows that the dependences of the amplitude deviations as a function of the number of damaged turns of the stator windings and the dependences of the displacements of the phase shift angles of the stator currents, as a function of the number of damaged turns of the stator windings, are linear. In this regard, the equation for determining the amplitude deviations as a function of the number of damaged turns of the stator windings can be represented as
where k
Is—the angular coefficient of the stator current increment, A/turn;
n—the number of damaged turns, a turn.
The angular coefficient of the increment of the stator current was calculated by the formula
where I
si—the instantaneous value of the phase current of the stator of the controlled phase, for the current experiment, A;
Isnom—instantaneous rated value of the stator phase current, A;
ni—the number of damaged turns for the current experiment, a turn.
According to
Table 2, the angular coefficients of the increment of the stator current were calculated. For the damaged phase A, the value of the angular coefficient of the stator current increment is k
IsA = 0.0479 A/turn; for phase B k
IsB = −0.0308 A/turn; for phase C k
IsC = −0.0268 A/turn.
Similarly, an expression is presented for determining the displacements of the phase shift angles of the stator currents.
where k
φIs—slope of the stator current phase shift angle, deg/turn.
The angular displacement coefficient of the phase shift angle of the stator current was calculated by the formula
where φ
Isi—the value of the phase shift angle of the stator current of the controlled phase for the current experiment, deg;
φIsnom—the nominal value of the stator current phase shift angle, deg;
ni—the number of damaged turns for the current experiment, a turn.
According to
Table 2, the slope coefficients of the stator current phase shift angle were calculated for each phase of the stator winding. For phase A, which has an interturn short circuit that leads to a decrease in the number of working turns, the value of the angular coefficient of displacement of the phase shift angle of the stator current is k
φIsA = −0.0798 deg/turn; for intact phase B—k
φIsB = 0.0044 deg/turn; for intact phase C—k
φIsC = 0.0044 deg/turn.
The damaged phase was selected by the largest value of the modulus of the slope of the stator current increment and the largest value of the slope of the phase shift angle.
Based on the studies carried out, the algorithm for determining the number of damaged turns of the stator winding in case of an interturn short circuit on one of their stator phases is as follows:
According to the hodograph diagram of the Park vector, the following is determined: the value of the current Isd0 at Isq = 0, the value of the current Isq0, at Isd = 0, the maximum value of the Park vector Ipmax, the minimum value of the Park vector Ipmin, the value of the current Isd, at Ip = Ipmax, the value of the current Isq, at Ip = Ipmax;
Calculate the ellipticity angle for an orthogonal–circular basis using Formula (6), calculation of the ellipticity angle for an orthogonal–elliptical basis by Formula (16) and calculation of the ellipse tilt angle by Formula (17).
If the ellipse tilt angle is not equal to zero, which indicates a supply asymmetry, the values of the currents I′sd0 and I′sq0 are determined and recalculated for an orthogonal–circular basis according to Formulas (18)–(20);
The calculation of the amplitudes and phase shift angles of the stator currents is carried out according to the Formulas (8), (10) and (11);
According to the obtained amplitudes and phase shift angles of the stator currents for each phase, the number of damaged turns is calculated using the formulas:
The results are rounded up to the nearest higher whole number. Among the results obtained, the largest integer is selected and a conclusion is made about the number of damaged turns.
An example of the practical use of research results.
When analyzing the performance of the proposed method, the authors used the results of the experiments presented above. As an example, the results for the unbalance condition of the power supply system (U

According to Formula (17), the ellipse tilt angle was calculated, the value of which was −63.118 deg. Since the angle of inclination of the ellipse was not equal to zero, it was concluded that the supply voltage system is unbalanced.
The projections of the ellipse from the orthogonal–elliptic basis to the orthogonal–circular basis were recalculated using Formulas (18) and (19). The amplitude values of current projections in an orthogonally circular basis were obtained using Formula (20). The results obtained were: I′sd = 31.66 A, I′sq = 30.192 A. Using Formula (6), the angle of ellipticity was determined, the value of which was 43.64 deg. The conclusion was made about the unbalance of the stator windings.
According to Formula (8), the angles of the stator currents were calculated, the values of which were: φIsAm = 30.125 deg., φIsBm = 31.384 deg., φIsCm = 31.384 deg. According to Formula (11), the values of the amplitudes of the stator phase currents were determined, the values of which were: IsAm = 31.659 A., IsBm = 30.507 A., IsCm = 30.567 A.
According to Formula (12), the displacements of the phase shift angles of the phase currents were determined, the values of which were: ΔφIsAm = −1.195 deg., ΔφIsBm = 0.064 deg., ΔφIsCm = 0.066 deg. According to Formula (13), the displacements of the amplitudes of the stator phase currents were determined, the values of which were: ΔIsAm = 0.713 A., ΔIsBm = −0.439 A., ΔIsCm = −0.402 A.
According to Formula (25), the number of damaged windings was calculated through the displacement of the amplitudes of the phase currents of each phase. The calculation gave the following results: the number of damaged turns, calculated through the displacement of the amplitude of the phase current of phase A nIA = 14.885; through the displacement of the phase current of phase B—nIB = 14.253; through the displacement of the phase current of phase C—nIB = 15. According to Formula (26), the number of damaged windings was calculated through the displacement of the phase shift angles of the phase currents. The calculation gave the following results: the number of damaged turns, calculated through the displacement of the phase shift angles of the phase current of phase A φIA = 14.945; through the shift of phase angles of the phase current of phase B—nφB = 14.545; through the shift of the phase angles of the phase current of the phase C—nφB = 14.545. The highest value was 15 damaged turns. It was concluded that 15 turns were damaged in the induction motor. This result corresponds to the setting conditions of the experiment.
