Mechanical and electrical faults detection in induction motor across multiple sensors with CNN-LSTM deep learning model

Abstract

The utilization of monitoring sensors in machinery has led to the mainstream adoption of fault detection and diagnosis in time series data across various industrial applications. Deep learning techniques, specifically in constructing fault diagnosis models by extracting insights from historical equipment fault data, are receiving widespread attention as crucial tools in ensuring the safety and reliability of motor systems. In this study, a CNN-LSTM-based deep learning model is proposed for the detection of electric motor faults. Three distinct sets of accelerometer sensor data are provided as input to the model, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of its performance across various sensor configurations. The model demonstrated a remarkable capacity for generalization, achieving impressive accuracy rates of 99.96% for Accelerometer-1, 98.88% for Accelerometer-2, and 99.37% for Accelerometer-3. This underscores the robustness and adaptability of the proposed CNN-LSTM model in effectively detecting electric motor faults regardless of the specific accelerometer sensor employed.
