The indirect field oriented control (IFOC) is the most commontherefore condition monitoring is becoming mandatory in control method for implementing high performance inductionthose sensitive applications. motor drive [8-9]. In general in the IFOC technique the shaftthe objective of this contribution is to study the feasibility of speed, that is usually measured, and the slip speed calculateddetection and diagnosis of the mechanical speed sensor from the machine equations are added to find the rotor fluxfaults in an induction motor drive. using knowledge of the vector position which is a critical issue. Therefore a close lookmotor condition, the proposed technique based on fuzzy is required on parameter variations and speed sensor fault whichlogic is applied to discriminate load and parameter should lead to the controller detuning and even to the instabilityvariations from the speed sensor faults. both simulation and ofthe drive.experimental results are presented in terms of accuracy in Parameter variations are usually tracked by adaptivethe detection of speed sensor faults and knowledge mechanisms using additional sensors (stator temperature forextraction feasibility. example) or specific algorithms based on weak assumptions like

In this section the rotor speed and stator currentevolutions are analyzed when a parameter variation or aspeed sensor fault occur at different operating points. Theissue is to be able to discriminate those two effects.Therefore, the sensitivity of the IM has been studied to the
