    The diagnosis of faults in induction motors, such as broken rotor bars, is critical for preventing costly emergency shutdowns and production losses. The complexity of this task lies in the diversity of induction motor operating regimes. Specifically, a change in load alters the signal’s frequency composition and, consequently, the values of fault diagnostic features. Developing a reliable diagnostic model requires data covering the entire range of motor loads, but the volume of available experimental data is often limited. This work investigates a data augmentation method based on the physical relationship between the frequency content of diagnostic signals and the motor’s operating regime. The method enables stretching and compression of the signal in the spectral domain while preserving Fourier transform symmetry and energy consistency, facilitating the generation of synthetic data for various load regimes. We evaluated the method on experimental data from a 0.37 kW induction motor with broken rotor bars. The synthetic data were used to train three diagnostic models: a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and a hybrid CNN-MLP model. Results indicate that the proposed augmentation method enhances classification quality across different load levels. The hybrid CNN-MLP model achieved the best performance, with an F1-score of 0.98 when augmentation was employed. These findings demonstrate the practical efficacy of physics-guided spectral augmentation for induction motor fault diagnosis. © 2025 by the authors.

    The problem of diagnostics of broken rotor bars in an induction (IM) motor based on its current signals is considered. The proposed fault detection technique is based on filtering the current signal in the region around the frequency 7f, where f is the power supply frequency, and further obtaining its envelope using the Hilbert Transform. Scalograms are constructed from the envelopes using a Continuous Wavelet Transform and form a training dataset for the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifier. In real industrial conditions, we have a lack of defective data which is simulated in this paper. It is shown that a CNN model trained on normal data obtained under different motor operating conditions and defective data obtained under one operating mode will poorly detect a defect when changing the operating mode. The reason for this lies in the characteristic defect frequencies change with the change in the operating mode. A data augmentation method based on spectrum distortion is proposed to solve this problem. We distort the spectrum of a real defective signal taking into account its structure and create synthetic data that simulate missing defective signals with different operating conditions. The paper presents the experimental rig and dataset, and shows that the spectral distortion-based augmentation technique significantly improves the performance of the CNN model under conditions of insufficient defective training data. © 2025 IEEE.
