One method of induction motor stator fault diagnosis based on the inverter input side (grid side) current spectrum analysis was proposed. When the induction motor stator fault occurs, the negative sequence component of stator current can ride through the inverter and rectifier to converter grid side, the fault characteristic frequency is found in the grid side current spectrum. Influence to stator current and converter grid side current produced by grid negative sequence voltage component was analyzed. The fault characteristic frequency of the ...
