Along with these benefits, they have minimal maintenance costs and can run for extended periods before requiring repair and\/or maintenance. Early fault detection in SCIMs, especially at low-load conditions, further helps minimize maintenance costs and mitigate abrupt equipment failure when loading is increased. Recent research on these devices is focused on fault\/failure diagnostics with the aim of reducing downtime, minimizing costs, and increasing utility and productivity. Data-driven predictive maintenance offers a reliable avenue for intelligent monitoring whereby signals generated by the equipment are harnessed for fault detection and isolation (FDI). Particularly, motor current signature analysis (MCSA) provides a reliable avenue for extracting and\/or exploiting discriminant information from signals for FDI and\/or fault diagnosis. This study presents a fault diagnostic framework that exploits underlying spectral characteristics following MCSA and intelligent classification for fault diagnosis based on extracted spectral features. Results show that the extracted features reflect induction motor fault conditions with significant diagnostic performance (minimal false alarm rate) from intelligent models, out of which the random forest (RF) classifier was the most accurate, with an accuracy of 79.25%. Further assessment of the models showed that RF had the highest computational cost of 3.66 s, while NBC had the lowest at 0.003 s. Other significant empirical assessments were conducted, and the results support the validity of the proposed FDI technique.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a15060212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,17]],"date-time":"2022-06-17T01:48:12Z","timestamp":1655430492000},"page":"212","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["A Cost-Efficient MCSA-Based Fault Diagnostic Framework for SCIM at Low-Load Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6501-5201","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chibuzo Nwabufo","family":"Okwuosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering (Department of Aeronautics, Mechanical and Electronic Convergence Engineering), Kumoh National Institute of Technology, 61 Daehak-ro, Gumi-si 39177, Gyeonsang-buk-do, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4221-5192","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ugochukwu Ejike","family":"Akpudo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering (Department of Aeronautics, Mechanical and Electronic Convergence Engineering), Kumoh National Institute of Technology, 61 Daehak-ro, Gumi-si 39177, Gyeonsang-buk-do, Korea"}]},{"given":"Jang-Wook","family":"Hur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering (Department of Aeronautics, Mechanical and Electronic Convergence Engineering), Kumoh National Institute of Technology, 61 Daehak-ro, Gumi-si 39177, Gyeonsang-buk-do, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1221","DOI":"10.1007\/s11831-018-9286-z","article-title":"Condition Monitoring And Fault Diagnosis Of Induction Motors: A Review","volume":"26","author":"Choudhary","year":"2019","journal-title":"Arch.
