This paper presents a signal based approach to detect PWM inverter faults and motor unbalances in electrical drives. A diagnostic system which uses the control variables of the drive and the current measurements is presented. It is based on frequency analysis and on the energetic characterization of these variables in the PWM frequency domain. These method very simple to implement in real time have been successfully applied to an experimental system.
