The method is compared with other procedures with the same data, which are based on time\u2013frequency analysis, frequency analysis and time domain. The results show that this method improves the rotor fault detection in transient conditions. Variable speed drive applications are common in industry. However, traditional condition monitoring methods fail in time-varying conditions or with load oscillations. This method is based on the combined use of the Hilbert and discrete wavelet transforms, which compute the energy in a bandwidth corresponding to the maximum fault signature. Theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and experiments are presented, which confirm the enhanced performance of the proposed method with respect to prior solutions, especially in time-varying conditions. The comparison is based on quantitative analysis that helps in choosing the optimal trade-off between performance and (computational) cost.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23021046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,17]],"date-time":"2023-01-17T01:41:20Z","timestamp":1673919680000},"page":"1046","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Condition Monitoring of Induction Machines: Quantitative Analysis and Comparison"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Michele","family":"Sintoni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering \u201cGuglielmo Marconi\u201d (DEI), Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, 47522 Cesena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4892-3096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena","family":"Macrelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering \u201cGuglielmo Marconi\u201d (DEI), Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, 47522 Cesena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5442-830X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Bellini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering \u201cGuglielmo Marconi\u201d (DEI), Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, 47522 Cesena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5384-8177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudio","family":"Bianchini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Engineering \u201cEnzo Ferrari\u201d (DIEF), University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, 41125 Modena, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.1109\/TIA.2010.2090839","article-title":"A Survey of Condition Monitoring and Protection Methods for Medium-Voltage Induction Motors","volume":"47","author":"Zhang","year":"2011","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
