A general purpose software for signal processing oriented to the diagnosis of electrical machines

This paper deals mainly on the development of a virtual platform structure for the signal processing analysis dedicated to monitoring and diagnosis of AC electrical machines. Two kinds of analysis are described: the time domain and the frequency domain. This platform is integrated in a standard software developed for the European network OELEM (open European laboratory on electrical machines). The main features are a real user friendly interface, a low maintenance source code, a modularity to facilitate the integration of new computation and advanced signal processing techniques. Experimental results related to squirrel-cage three-phase induction machine monitoring are presented.
