Vibration monitoring is studied for fault diagnostics of an induction motor. Several features of vibration signals are compared as indicators of broken rotor bar of a 35 kW induction motor. Regular fast Fourier transform (FFT) based power spectrum density (PSD) estimation is compared to signal processing with higher order spectra (HOS), cepstrum analysis and signal description with autoregressive (AR) modelling. The fault detection routine and feature comparison is carried out with support vector machine (SVM) based classification. The best method for feature extraction seems to be the application of AR coefficients. The result is found out with real measurement data from several motor conditions and load situations.
