IV. THE PERFORMED MEASUREMENTS


The current probe was placed on one of the phases and
the flux probes were positioned around the induction
machine in various places. The hand-made flux probe was
placed in three different locations around the housing of the a) hole in the outer race
machine in order to measure the axial body flux, the radial
flux on the end winding and the radial body flux,
respectively, as it is shown in Fig. 3a ,b and c. The Emerson
flux probe was positioned outside the fan end of the
induction machine, with its axis coincident with the shaft
axis, as shown in Fig. 3d.

The induction machine was tested in its healthy condition
and having one of its bearings substituted by a faulty one.
For each machine condition the motor was tested at no-load,
at 50% of the rated load and at the rated load. Exceptionally
when the machine was tested with a cracked bearing, the full
load condition was not possible to be achieved due to very

During all the measurements performed 500,000 samples

measurements ten consecutive acquisitions were collected,
with an acquisition time of 50 seconds each.

100 -45.12 -49.86 4.75 1.96 Bearing faults are one of the most frequent defects of
150 -25.24 -24.81 -0.42 1.69 induction machines. Therefore the detection of such faults
200 -57.03 -58.42 1.39 2.38 already in their incipient phase is quite important in the

measurements of the stray flux around the machine by means

that by applying the method three basic bearing faults types
