In this paper, a hybrid model for increasing the precision of the support vector machine classifier is proposed to detect stator windings short circuit fault detection in induction motors. The proposed method consists of three different phases, wherein the first phase the statistical features of a healthy and defective data set are extracted. The principal component analysis is used to reduce the dimensions of the obtained features. Then, different SVMs are constructed based on training data sets. To achieve a better result, the parameters of the SVM are determined by the fractionalorder chaotic particle swarm optimization algorithm. Finally, a hybrid model for combining SVMs with type-2 Fuzzy logic is implemented. The proposed approach is then applied on measured stator current data for stator winding short circuit fault detection in a three-phase induction motor with 2.2kW, 50Hz, 6 Pole. The average accuracy of 98.4% of the detection of stator winding error on laboratory data under different load conditions indicates the performance and validity of the proposed algorithm.
