An Innovative Technique for Smart Repair of Induction Motors

Abstract

This paper introduces an innovative solution to tackle three-phase induction motor winding breakdown and repair issues through a three-step strategic approach. First, simulation-based models are used for the precise design of induction motors, especially the windings, providing a solid foundation for accurate winding repairs. This ensures innovative motor repair, enhancing key performance indicators of machines such as efficiency, power density, and power factor. Second, our proposal integrates health monitoring during the rewinding process, incorporating sensors at critical locations like windings and the core. Real-time temperature and vibration monitoring through an IoT-based platform enable proactive maintenance, preventing breakdowns and promoting overall motor health. Particularly relevant in Nepal, where traditional motor maintenance practices lack engineering solutions, this holistic model will revolutionize motor design, repair, and maintenance, offering a transformative solution for improved reliability in the industrial landscape.
