Özet

This study focuses on fault detection in electrical machines using a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN) model. Two publicly available datasets, CWRU and HUST, are utilized to evaluate the model’s performance with datasets of varying sizes and complexities. The CWRU dataset includes four fault categories: Normal, Ball, Inner Race, and Outer Race, while the HUST dataset features seven fault categories: Normal, Ball, Inner Race, Outer Race, combinations of Inner Race and Ball, Outer Race and Ball, and Inner Race and Outer Race faults. Both datasets are divided into training, validation, and test sets, following a standardized split—20% for testing, and 20% of the remaining data for validation. The model is trained and validated for 30 epochs using the separated datasets. The results show that when using the CWRU dataset, the gap between training and validation accuracy is larger, suggesting that the model is overfitting and not generalizing well to unseen data. In contrast, the HUST dataset results in a smaller accuracy gap, indicating better generalization and performance consistency across training and validation. This suggests that the CWRU dataset may contain more complexity, noise, or class imbalance compared to the HUST dataset, making it challenging for the model to generalize effectively. Consequently, the model achieves an overall accuracy of 85.68% on the CWRU dataset and 98.41% on the HUST dataset during testing, aligning with the predictions made from the accuracy-loss plots. This study concludes that dataset selection is crucial for achieving optimal performance in deep learning models for fault detection. The results highlight the importance of evaluating model performance on different datasets to ensure robust and generalized fault detection capabilities.
