Their core advantages include no contact wear, high reliability, and maintenance-free characteristics. However, the existing technologies still have the following deficiencies in operation data analysis and fault diagnosis:

[0003] Limitations in data acquisition and processing: Traditional methods rely on a single sensor (such as voltage, current) or local features (such as vibration frequency), and cannot comprehensively cover multi-dimensional parameters such as rotor current, stator voltage, and temperature field distribution, resulting in incomplete fault identification.
