Abstract: Induction motors are most commonly used in many industries, including petrochemicals, oil, and steel. A single failure in any of the induction motor’s components or subcomponents can result in a plant shutdown. The plant will suffer significant financial losses as a result. It is crucial to diagnose different types of faults in induction motors. Various condition monitoring techniques help diagnose faults in induction motors at an early stage. Vibration analysis is most commonly used among multiple condition monitoring techniques due to its higher accuracy compared to other methods. Vibration analysis is used to detect different types of faults in induction motors. The acceleration vibration data corresponding to multiple types of defects are gathered from publicly available web resources. The primary objective of this research work is to explore the severity of horizontal and vertical misalignment defects utilizing a signal processing approach. To achieve this objective, the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is used to detect abnormal behaviour in the induction motor. The Daubechies-4(db4) wavelet is chosen as a mother wavelet. As the Daubechies wavelet is an orthogonal wavelet, the percentage energy in all decomposed sub-bands will equal the original energy of the signal. The energy level of subbands is compared with the healthy condition of the motor to detect significant changes in motor fault.
