Abstract
Accurate fault diagnosis of electrical machines is essential for operational reliability and safety. Handcrafted features remain attractive in practice because of their interpretability and computational efficiency. However, this traditional approach relies on individual feature vectors and is limited in preserving inherent temporal dynamics. To address this issue, a label-consistent input structuring based on the second-stage sliding window (SSSW) method is proposed. This approach retains the benefits of handcrafted features and arranges feature vectors into temporally coherent sequences while ensuring label consistency. A hyperparameter optimization scheme is incorporated with a long short-term memory classifier to reduce manual tuning. Performance evaluations demonstrate the robustness of the proposed SSSW method across diverse operating conditions and input signal configurations. These include single-phase currents, multiphase currents, vibration, and fused current-vibration signals. Notably, the proposed approach achieves classification accuracy of up to 100% and demonstrates stable learning behavior. Experimental verification on a laboratory-scale permanent magnet synchronous motor testbed further validates the proposed method under realistic measurement noise and interference conditions. Finally, combining handcrafted features with the proposed SSSW input structuring method provides a practical, scalable solution for reliable electrical machine fault diagnosis.
