- Development, implementation, and validation of a condition monitoring platform for vibration analysis on three-phase induction motorsPublication . Brito, Fábio Alexandre Silva Teixeira de; Bento, Fernando José FigueiredoThanks to its renowned robustness and reliability, the three-phase induction motor is the electrical machine of choice in the vast majority of industries. This device occupies a prominent position in production chains and auxiliary processes. At the same time, this device is often exposed to very adverse operating conditions, which is why continuous monitoring of its condition is particularly important, with the aim of optimising operation and anticipating breakdowns, ultimately reducing the financial losses that eventual faults entail. The main goal of this dissertation is to develop a platform for monitoring and diagnosing faults in three-phase induction motors. In this sense and considering that accessibility to equipment is often a key factor, as is the case of fans in ducts, industries with hazardous environments or submersible pumps, it is proposed to design, develop, implement, and validate a system for acquiring and processing analogue signals from piezoelectric accelerometers attached to the housing of a three-phase induction motor. The information collected by the proposed solution will enable end users to be informed about the equipment's operating condition, thus facilitating decision-making processes.
