Js. Hsu et J. Stein, SHAFT SIGNALS OF SALIENT-POLE SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES FOR ECCENTRICITY AND SHORTED-FIELD-COIL DETECTIONS, IEEE transactions on energy conversion, 9(3), 1994, pp. 572-578
Relationships between shaft signals and eccentricities of salient-pole
synchronous machines are studied. The magnitude and the thickness of
shaft-signal loci reflect steady and dynamic eccentricities. Harmonic
components of shaft signals closely relate to shorted field coils. Thr
eshold records can be used for indications of changes in eccentricitie
s and shorted field coils. Extensive experimental work agrees with the
theoretical predictions.
