This paper presents the design and development of a novel, fuzzy-based algorithm for the detection and diagnosis of drive faults in an induction motor drive system (IMDS). A detailed investigation on the performance of IMDS under various faults and load conditions revealed that the combination of root-mean-square value and total harmonic distortion (THD) of the stator currents can accurately transpire various fault conditions. In this work, the efficacy of fuzzy logic is employed to characterize and diagnose the fault since it is difficult to find crisp boundaries for the correlation between the extracted parameters and fault conditions. The performance of the developed algorithm is tested and verified using simulation in MATLAB Simulink.
