A dual-diaphragm based acoustic sensing system has been proposed to increase the dynamic range by using a thin diaphragm (70 nm) of gold diaphragm to decrease minimum detectable acoustic pressure and a thick one (300 nm) to increase maximum detectable acoustic pressure. Signals from the two diaphragms are synchronously demodulated using frequency division multiplexing (FDM) combined with an in-phase/quadrature (IQ) and a phase generated carrier (PGC) phase demodulation. Signal crosstalk from the two diaphragms is avoided by adding a carrier modulation frequency shift to one of them. The underwater sensing performance of the system is tested under the acoustic signals ranging from 100 to 1500 Hz. Experimental results demonstrate that the average dynamic range reaches 98.4 dB in 300 ~ 1500 Hz, which is obviously improved comparing to the sensor barely using a 70 nm diaphragm (81.2 dB) or a 300 nm one (74.2 dB). In addition, the sensor performs high and flat sensitivity under low acoustic pressure (less than 110 Pa) with an average phase sensitivity of −164.2±2.6 dB re 1 rad/ $\mu $ Pa. Due to the characteristic of large dynamic range and compact size, the proposed sensing system is believed to have potential application prospects in acoustic detection area.

EMU (electric multiple unit) traction motors are powered by converters whose output voltage increases the voltage stress borne by the insulation system, making the ITSC (inter-turn short-circuit) fault more prominent. An index based on short-circuit thermal power is proposed in the article to evaluate the non-metallic ITSC faults extent. The apFFT (all-phase FFT) time-shift phase difference correction with double Hanning windows is used to calculate fault features to train the SVM (support vector machine) fault diagnosis model whose hyper-parameters C and g are optimized using grid search methods. The experimental verification was carried out on the EMU electric traction simulation experimental platform. According to the fault extent index proposed in this article, the experimental samples were divided into three categories, normal, incipient and serious fault samples. The ITSC fault diagnosis accuracy was 100% on the training dataset and 93.33% on the test dataset. There was no misclassification between normal and serious ITSC fault samples.

The stator winding insulation system is the most critical and weakest part of the EMU’s (electric multiple unit’s) traction motor. The effective diagnosis for stator ITSC (inter-turn short-circuit) faults can prevent a fault from expanding into phase-to-phase or ground short-circuits. The TCU (traction control unit) controls the traction inverter to output SPWM (sine pulse width modulation) excitation voltage when the traction motor is at a standstill. Three ITSC fault diagnostic conditions are based on different IGBTs’ control logics. The Goertzel algorithm is used to calculate the fundamental current amplitude difference Δi and phase angle difference Δθ of equivalent parallel windings under the three diagnostic conditions. The six parameters under the three diagnostic conditions are used as features to establish an ITSC fault diagnostic model based on the random forest. The proposed method was validated using a simulation experimental platform for the ITSC fault diagnosis of EMU traction motors. The experimental results indicate that the current amplitude features Δi and phase angle features Δθ change obviously with an increase in the ITSC fault extent if the ITSC fault occurs at the equivalent parallel windings. The accuracy of the ITSC fault diagnosis model based on the random forest for ITSC fault detection and location, both in train and test samples, is 100%.

The EMU(electric multiple units) traction motors are powered by converters. The PWM(pulse width modulation) voltage increases the voltage stress borne by the motor insulation system, making the ITSC(inter-turn short-circuit) fault more prominent. An index based on short-circuit thermal power was proposed in the article to evaluate the non-metallic ITSC faults degree. The apFFT(all phase FFT) time-shift phase difference correction with double Hanning-windows is used to calculate the fundamental frequency of the traction motor's ZSVC（zero se-quence voltage component）, the fundamental amplitudes of ZSVC and three-phase current. The five parameters are used as fault features to train the SVM (support vector machine)fault diagnosis model. The SVM hyper-parameters C and g are optimized by K-CV (K fold cross-validation) and grid search methods. The experimental verification was carried out by the EMU electric traction simulation experimental platform. According to the non-metallic degree index proposed in this article, the experimental samples were divided into three categories, normal, incipient and serious fault samples.
