In this paper static eccentricity (SE) fault diagnosis in wound rotor (WR) resolver is considered and a new noninvasive index is proposed. Using the proposed index not only leads to SE detection but also, helps to precisely determine the eccentricity level. Furthermore, the location of the fault is determined using two search coils. In this regard, a mathematical model based on the winding function method is proposed. In the proposed model the influence of non-uniform air-gap length on calculating the inductances is considered. Then, time-stepping finite element method (TSFEM) is used for approving the success of the proposed index. Finally, experimental tests are done to validate the simulation results.
