Abstract

See full text

A method for identifying a fault in an impeller blockage in a centrifugal pump includes a determining step and a calculating step. The determining step includes determining the fault frequency fr,pump of at least one fault-indicating harmonic of a motor current on the basis of a fault model, wherein the centrifugal pump has a three-phase drive motor. The calculating step includes calculating a harmonic amplitude îf of the motor current for the at least one determined fault frequency fr,pump by transforming the three-phase motor current into a dq current coordinate system that contains currents id and iq and rotates at the fault frequency fr,pump. A geometric sum of direct components of the currents id and iq in the dq current coordinate system corresponds to the harmonic amplitude îf.
