First, according to the maximum inner product between the current signal and the cosine basis functions, this method could precisely estimate the waveform parameters of the fundamental component using the powerful global search capability of the BBPSO, which can eliminate the fundamental component and not affect other harmonic components. Then, the harmonic components of residual current signal were decomposed to a series of frequency bands by wavelet packet to extract the interturn circuit fault features of the induction motor. Finally, the results of simulation and laboratory tests demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多
