This paper presents a comparative analysis of bearing and rotating component fault classification based on different time–frequency representations using vision transformer (ViT). Four different time–frequency transformation techniques—short-time Fourier transform (STFT), continuous wavelet transform (CWT), Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT), and Wigner–Ville distribution (WVD)—were applied to convert the signals into 2D images. A pretrained ViT-Base architecture was fine-tuned on the resulting images for classification tasks. The model was evaluated on two separate scenarios: (i) eight-class rotating component fault classification and (ii) four-class bearing fault classification. Importantly, in each task, the samples were collected under varying conditions of the other component (i.e., different rotating conditions in bearing classification and vice versa). This design allowed for an independent assessment of the model’s ability to generalize across fault domains. The experimental results demonstrate that the ViT-based approach achieves high classification performance across various time–frequency representations, highlighting its potential for mechanical fault diagnosis in rotating machinery. Notably, the model achieved higher accuracy in bearing fault classification compared to rotating component faults, suggesting higher sensitivity to bearing-related anomalies.

Electrical machines, which provide many conveniences in our daily life, may experience malfunctions that may adversely affect their performance and the general functioning of the industrial processes in which they are used. These failures often require maintenance or repair work, which can be expensive and time consuming. Therefore, minimizing the risk of malfunctions and failures and ensuring that these machines operate reliably and efficiently play a critical role for the industry. In this study, a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) based fault diagnosis model is proposed for electric motor fault detection. Motor vibration data was chosen as the input data of the 1D-CNN model. Motor vibration data was obtained from a mobile application developed by using the three-axis accelerometer of the mobile phone. Three-axis data (X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis) were fed to the model, both separately and together, to perform motor fault detection. The results showed that even a single axis data provides error-free diagnostics. With this fault detection method, which does not require any connection on or inside the motor, the fault condition in an electric motor has been detected with high accuracy.

Recently, the development of advanced power semiconductor devices has made widespread use of power switching circuits and other power electronics applications in commercial and industrial environments. This paper focuses on Single Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) as a AC-DC boost rectifier and AC-DC buck rectifier. The SPMC was operated in the desired mode using a single driver circuit. Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) are used in the power circuit as switching devices to implement SPMC topology. Switching signals are obtained by Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) technique. The simulation is carried out using MATLAB / Simulink.

Induction motors are foundational components across industrial applications, valued for their inherent robustness, operational simplicity, and cost-efficiency. Maintaining their reliable function is paramount for a wide range of mechanical and electrical systems. However, they are prone to various mechanical and electrical faults, such as bearing defects, rotor issues, and voltage imbalances, which can significantly impair their performance and reliability. This study presents a novel vibration dataset for induction motor fault diagnosis, uniquely acquired using a smartphone-based inertial sensor rather than conventional industrial accelerometers. Vibration signals were recorded along three orthogonal axes (gx, gy, gz), alongside gravity-compensated acceleration components (guserx, gusery, guserz), enabling detailed analysis of both raw and gravity-free vibration characteristics. Data were collected under diverse conditions, including healthy operation and several fault types, across varying rotational speeds and load states. The dataset features long-duration vibration recordings sampled at 100 Hz, suitable for both time-domain analysis and window-based feature extraction. Its inclusion of multiple operating speeds and load conditions is ideal for studying the impact of operational variability on fault signatures. By leveraging low-cost and readily accessible smartphone sensors, this dataset supports practical and accessible vibration data acquisition for supporting the development, benchmarking, and validation of data-driven fault diagnosis methods. This resource is expected to significantly advance research in condition monitoring of induction motor, particularly for machine learning and signal processing applications using vibration data.
