Abstract:

Fault diagnosis systems based on search coils are widely used for detecting the interturn short-circuit fault, which is one of the most common electrical faults in electrical machines. Although various search coil structures have been proposed, there is not a systematic method proposed for the design of search coils. In addition, there is not a quantitative evaluation standard to evaluate the performances of search coils in each aspect, making it difficult to judge whether the proposed search coil structure is the optimal one. In this article, the reliability, sensitivity and positioning ability of search coils are derived and evaluated by four defined characteristic indexes. And based on these four characteristic indexes, a systematic search coil design method based on the mutual inductance matrix is also proposed. With the proposed design method, the optimal search coil structures for different permanent magnet synchronous machines are designed and optimized. It is found that the search coils designed by the proposed method have good performance in reliability, sensitivity and positioning ability. The performances of designed search coils are validated by the finite element analysis and experiment.
