Abstract

This work presents a lightweight and practical methodology for detecting inter-turn short-circuit faults in squirrel-cage induction motors under different mechanical load conditions. The proposed approach utilizes a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) enhanced with residual blocks and trained on differentiated stator current signals obtained under different load mechanical conditions. This preprocessing step enhances fault-related features, enabling improved learning while maintaining the simplicity of a lightweight CNN. The model achieved classification accuracies above 99.16% across all folds in five-fold cross-validation and demonstrated the ability to detect faults involving as few as three short-circuited turns. Comparative experiments with the Multi-Scale 1D-ResNet demonstrate that the proposed method achieves similar or superior performance while significantly reducing training time. These results highlight the model’s suitability for real-time fault detection in embedded and resource-constrained industrial environments.
