US Patent 9541606 Fault detection system and associated method

A method implemented using a controller based device includes receiving a measured electrical signal from an electrical device of an electromechanical device and receiving a measured vibration signal from a mechanical device of the electromechanical device, coupled to the electrical device. The method further includes determining a first signal signature based on the measured electrical signal and determining a second signal signature based on the measured vibration signal. The method also includes determining a diagnostic parameter based on the first signal signature and the second signal signature and determining a fault in the mechanical device based on the diagnostic parameter.
