Abstract
This paper proposes the construction of an inverted induction motor (with the cage winding at the stator), and the test stand associated, to readily monitor rotor parameters and reproduce defects with the intention of optimizing and comparing different techniques of simulation and fault detection. In order to obtain the level of detail needed for these studies in the working parameters of the operation of a squirrel cage induction motor, full capacity for performing measurements in the rotor is advantageous. In addition, the experiences intended to detect incipient failure signs and threshold values for condition monitoring require a reconfigurable but still realistic machine, having an easy access and modifiable characteristics. In this paper, the practical details related to the construction of the inverted motor as well as the results of the preliminary tests carried out on this machine are exposed.
