Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel multi-level negative selection algorithm (NSA)-based motor fault diagnosis scheme. The hierarchical fault diagnosis approach takes advantage of the feature signals of the healthy motors so as to generate the NSA detectors and further uses the analysis of the activated detectors for fault diagnosis. It can not only efficiently detect incipient motor faults, but also correctly identify the corresponding fault types. The applicability of our motor fault diagnosis method is examined using two real-world problems in computer simulations.
