Starfish-Optimized AI-Based Deep Learning Model for Accurate Broken Rotor Bar Fault Detection in Induction Motors

Resumen

To maintain the safety and reliability of industrial applications, it is important to analyse faults in three-phase induction motors. Traditional methods have difficulty in identifying the complex characteristics of errors in three-phase induction motors because the signals associated with three-phase induction motors are often noisy and exhibit non-linear dynamics. In this paper, a comprehensive method to analyse errors in three-phase induction motors are proposed that utilises advanced signal preprocessing, feature extraction, and Deep Learning (DL) methods to address these issues. Initially, an Entropy-Driven Empirical Wavelet Filter (EDEWF) are applied to clean the raw motor signal, and a Min-Max scaling is used to normalise the signal to create useful features. Next, an integrated hybrid model combining a Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) with a Multi-Head Adaptive Transformer (MHAT) are used for capturing local non-linear characteristics and global context. The features extracted from both models are combined into one feature vector and passed through a fully connected layer for classification. The Starfish Optimization Algorithm (SFOA) is implemented to adjust the hyperparameter of the proposed integrated hybrid model to improve the overall performance. The results obtained from the proposed method showed that it achieved a greatest accuracy, precision, recall, F1-Score of 0.9960 and robustness in the diagnostic of three-phase induction motors compared to traditional diagnostic methods, with respect to classifying the motor states as normal, healthy, and Broken Rotor Bar (BRB) faulted.
