Abstract: In this paper, a new time-frequency analysis technique called Hilbert Huang transform is applied to detect bars and ring defects in an induction motor. A pattern recognition method called support vector machine is used to classify the different operating modes of the motor (healthy and/or defective). The aim of this study is to improve the classification results obtained using the Fourier transform (as frequency analysis technique) and temporal signals.
