The proposed method used acoustic signals of a motor. A method of feature extraction called MSAF-RATIO30-EXPANDED (method of selection of amplitudes of frequencies – ratio 30% of maximum of amplitude – expanded) was presented and implemented. An analysis of proposed method was carried out for early fault states of a real DC motor. Four following states of the DC motor were measured and analyzed: the healthy DC motor, DC motor with 3 shorted rotor coils, DC motor with 6 shorted rotor coils, DC motor with a broken coil. Measured states were caused by natural degradation of the DC motor. The obtained results of analysis were good. The presented early fault diagnostic method can be used for protection of DC motors.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Fault diagnostics of DC motor using acoustic signals and MSAF-RATIO30-EXPANDED}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/102170/PDF/DOI%2010.1515aee-2016-0051.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aee-2016-0051}, keywords={acoustic signal, analysis, diagnostic, DC motor, machine}, }
