  • Duration: 1 year
  • Electrical machines are subjected to wear and tear after being used for some time and proper maintenance is required to prevent breakdown. One of the main maintenance efforts is to detect fault occurring in the electrical machines. Some of these faults is crucial to prevent machine breakdown. In this project, we investigate the effectiveness of a fault detection and diagnosis system using adaptive neuro fuzzy inferencing system (ANFIS) on a simulated three-phase & single-phase induction motor. Several parameters of the induction motor (motor running speed, bearing vibration, motor running current & frame temperature) are adjusted to represent faulty conditions. The experimental results obtained shows that the algorithm has good fault detection and diagnosis ability.

Electronics DIY Repair

My DIY repair hobby has quite a few strengths:

  • Hands-on skills – Troubleshooting and repairing a variety of appliances.
  • Sustainability impact – Repairing instead of replacing keeps items out of landfills, which customers appreciate.
  • Income potential – Even a few jobs a week can generate steady side income.
  • Community value – People often struggle to find affordable small appliance repair services, so I am filling a gap.
  • Specialize in high-demand items like kitchen appliances or premium irons, where replacement is expensive.
