This paper presents bearing fault detection and its diagnosis in a three phase induction motor using Stockwell transform of stator currents. The maximum magnitude and maximum phase angle plots are obtained from S-transform for various bearing conditions both on shaft-side and fan-side. The standard deviation of these plots are utilized to detect and analyze the bearing faults. The various bearing faults analyzed under case studies include defects in innerrace, outerrace, cage and balls. The experimental study shows that the S-transform based feature extraction can be effectively utilized for bearing fault detection and diagnosis in three phase induction motor. © 2016 IEEE.
