Permanent Magnet Machine Can Be a Vibration Sensor for Itself

This article presents a new vibration diagnostic
method designed to (PM) machines with permanent magnets. Those
devices are commonly used in small wind and water systems or
vehicles drives. The author’s method is very innovative and unique.
Specific structural properties of PM machines are used in this method
- electromotive force (EMF) generated due to vibrations. There was
analysed number of publications which describe vibration diagnostic
methods and tests of electrical PM machines and there was no
method found to determine the technical condition of such machine
basing on their own signals. In this article will be discussed: the
method genesis, the similarity of machines with permanent magnet to
vibration sensor and simulation and laboratory tests results. The
method of determination the technical condition of electrical machine
with permanent magnets basing on its own signals is the subject of
patent application and it is the main thesis of author’s doctoral
dissertation.
