Description
Summary:This paper presents an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique to recognize the incipient faults of an AC motor such as a synchronous motor. The proposed ANN-based fault detector is developed using the Resilient Error Back Propagation (RPROP) training algorithm. The fast and reliable method for multilayer neural networks converges much faster than the conventional back propagation algorithm. The main causes to diagnose three major faults are investigated and validated by adopting feed-forward back propagation neural networks.
