Introduction
Today, industries utilize many electrical machines, particularly induction motors (IM), with wattages ranging from several watts to megawatts to convert electrical power to the required mechanical power.IM has a lower power-by-weight (W/kg) ratio than a synchronous machine of the same rating, has lower costs, is more durable, and requires less maintenance.Hence, they are known as the workhorse of the industry.They are more useful in about 80% of the industry's operations, such as the petrochemical industry, vehicular technology, mining process, propulsion systems, aerospace, nuclear-reactor plants etc.Their healthy and continued operation is required, because motor failure can shut down the whole plant process.This situation will generate significant financial loss and should be avoided to the maximum extent.Hence, early detection of faults with appropriate condition monitoring and diagnostic techniques within the motor is always required in terms of all means of time and money [1][2][3].
Many publications [4][5][6][7] investigated the condition monitoring (CM) and fault diagnostics (FD) of IM faults related to electrical, mechanical, and environmental scenarios Energies 2023, 16, 5628 2 of 41 when operated with the grid supply.However, inverter-fed machines also undergo faults due to the impacts of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique, which has a highfrequency transition, and high steepness in the waveform or high voltage gradient (dv/dt) due to switching frequency (f sw ) of power electronic wide band-gap drives (WBG).These WBG devices have demonstrated superior material properties that are accepted worldwide, allowing their high-switching and high-voltage operation, as well as capabilities to operate at high-temperature profiles [8][9][10][11].

PWM Inverter-Fed Motor Drive System
These inverters drive the IM while improving the operation's safety and reliability, but increasing harmonic-frequency traces.The PWM modulation technique and switching frequency determine these harmonic amplitudes and wide-band frequencies.PWM-controlled inverters employed with WBG devices such as SiC (Silicon Carbide), GaN (Gallium Nitride), GaAs (Gallium Arsenide), AlN (Aluminum Nitride), etc. have critical switchinits g frequencies ranging from a few kHz to tens of kHz.Other than generating the increased harmonic contents at the output terminal of the inverter, they also generate a high-frequency common-mode voltage (CMV), a major problem in switching power converter fed IM.This happens with the shaft voltage and generates the bearing current through the AC machine's stray capacitive and inductive coupled paths [12].High modulation frequency attenuates low-order harmonics and increases the inverter's loss.These low-order harmonics are quite unhealthy for motors, because they cause torsional oscillations, pulsating torques in the shaft, and rotor bar-broken damage.Researchers are trying to reduce switching losses and increase the power converter efficiency with different inverter control strategies, and some novel designs such as [13][14][15][16] used discontinuous PWM (DPWM), sine triangle PWM-based DPWM, and space vector-based synchronized DRWM types of design techniques.A typical one-line diagram of an alternating current (AC) source with a voltage-source inverter (VSI), a rectifier system, filters with smoothing capacitors, and an IM operated with inverters is shown in Figure 1.It is worth mentioning that the failure rate of inverter-fed IM drives is 12 times faster than line or grid-fed drives, and this is demonstrated in the literature by a questionnaire survey of 3934 grid-fed drives and 286 variable-speed inverter drives [17].

Condition Monitoring and Diagnostic Techniques
This paper reviews the research on condition monitoring and fault diagnosis and draws attention to the methods proven to be the most reliable and helpful.Fault diagnosis techniques can be categorized based on whether they require invasive or non-invasive methods to assess the condition of the motor drive system.Non-invasive fault diagnosis techniques do not require physical intervention or direct contact with the motor drive system being monitored.These methods rely on external measurements or signals to analyze the system's behavior and detect potential faults.Invasive fault diagnosis techniques involve physical intervention or direct contact with the system to diagnose faults.These methods typically require accessing the internal components or subsystems of the machine [57].

Common Condition Monitoring Techniques
There are common condition monitoring (CM) techniques based on electrical signature analysis (ESA) through sensor data, which are useful not only for the condition monitoring of induction motors, but also for electrical generators, transformers, and other equipment.The most common type of signature analysis is motor current signature analysis (MCSA), in which the current signal signature is analyzed to trace the faults within the induction motor [38,58].ESA also includes the motor circuit analysis involving parameters like resistance, phase angle, current response, frequency response, equivalent impedance, inductance, and ground faults.Some of the common condition monitoring techniques used in identifying IM faults are listed below [41,50,[59][60][61][62][63][64][65] [31,70,71].These techniques focus on extracting relevant information from the signals to assess the machine's condition.Some common signal-based techniques are shown in Figure 4.  Model-based techniques for CM and FD of electrical machines are based on mathematical modeling to evaluate the behavior of the motor and detect the relevant faults or deviance from the common operating requirements [73,74].The most common modelbased techniques in FD are analytical models, finite element analysis (FEA), signal processing techniques, Kalman filtering (KF) and state estimation, artificial intelligence (AI), stochastic resonance, and machine learning (ML), as shown in Figure 5.These modelbased techniques provide valuable tools for the CM and FD of electrical machines, allowing pre-condition of faults, predictive maintenance, legible reliability, and high performance.The divisions above can also be used in artificial intelligence (AI) based techniques for diagnostics.An artificial intelligence approach to predictive maintenance necessitates both human intelligence and machine learning or training of algorithms for machine fault diagnostics [75][76][77][78][79].

Advanced Fault Detection Methods Recent trends include time-frequency analysis (tf ) methods, such as Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), wavelet transform, and Wigner-Ville transform, which provide valuable insights into motor signal transient and frequency-varying components.Applying these techniques makes it possible to detect and diagnose faults that may manifest as changes in frequency content or time-varying patterns.Different methods can identify certain faults in machines, such as the power spectrum graph, phase spectrum graph, cepstrum-graph, autoregressive (AR) spectrum-graph, spectrogram, wavelet scalogram, wavelet phase graph, etc.However, these methods often present several problems in terms of complexity and cost.The conventional signal-based methods are not always reliable, as they depend on the operating conditions of motors [121].
To improve the detection of incipient fault issues, the field of fault feature extraction has also taken advantage of stochastic resonance.Using straightforward techniques, researchers and diagnostic designers can better understand the motor drive system faults.In this approach, the system is represented by a network of interconnected neurons, where each neuron stands for a particular quality or feature of the signals the machinery generates [131].The optimal signal-to-noise ratio and the misclassification rate are two examples of multiobjective optimization techniques used to determine the ideal coupling strengths between the neurons.

CM Implementation Strategy
A well-designed implementation strategic plan is important, because it ensures a systematic and organized approach to condition monitoring.It improves the monitoring process's efficacy and efficiency, enables proactive maintenance, reduces downtime, and optimizes resource utilization.Furthermore, a well-defined strategic plan encourages uniformity, standardization, and scalability, allowing organizations to reap the benefits of condition monitoring across various assets and facilities.Figure 7 shows the implementation of a strategic layout of condition monitoring, which refers to the systematic approach and framework for implementing condition monitoring techniques.

Fault Monitoring and Diagnosis of Induction Motor
Monitoring and diagnosing fault conditions is crucial to maintaining indu tors' dependable and efficient performance.Utilizing modern sensors and da tion systems permits the early identification of fault conditions, such as bearing tor faults, stator winding faults, and imbalance.Simultaneously, fault diagn lyzes the collected data to determine the defect's specific type and severity.Va niques, such as signal processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning a identify fault varieties.These techniques extract relevant characteristics from th data and classify the fault type [98,132].The information obtained through fau tics enables maintenance personnel to promptly implement corrective measur inactivity periods, and prevent further damage to the induction motor.The s subchapters will comprehensively analyze each fault [71,97,[133][134][135], and pres tion monitoring and fault diagnosis according to the fault.

IM Stator's Faults
Stator faults in the induction motor account for approximately 16-37% of the total occurred faults [35].Induction motor stator faults include winding faults and external drive faults.The stator winding fault (SWF) can be caused by turn-to-turn, coil-to-coil, phase-tophase, or phase-to-ground faults, as shown in Figure 8.Most stator faults involve broken winding insulation.MCSA can detect broken thread insulation, which can cause phase insulation to break and kill the motor.Insulation is most affected by thermal stress [136].The combination of different electric stresses generated through the transient voltages is particularly undesirable [137].The stator is stressed by thermal, electrical, mechanical, and environmental factors, causing faults [139][140][141].Table 4 presents the types of fault diagnostics techniques for induction motor (IM) stator faults.The stator is stressed by thermal, electrical, mechanical, and environmental factors, causing faults [139][140][141].Table 4 presents the types of fault diagnostics techniques for induction motor (IM) stator faults.Incipient stator faults fall into the following broad categories.

1.
Laminations that create a hotspot in the core and cause slackening in the core.

2.
Faults in the frame due to unbalanced vibration, circulating current within it due to shaft voltages, coolant loss, or a potential earth fault.

3.
Faults in the end portion, insulation fretting, insulation contamination by moisture, oil, or dirt, damage to connectors, cracking of insulation, discharge erosion of insulation, and the displacement of conductors.

4.
Faults in portions from the slot due to the misplacement of conductors.

Inter-Turn Short-Circuit Faults
Industrial drives have a 16-28% stator inter-turn short circuit (ITSC) fault [136].Inverter-fed induction machines have more harmonics than line-connected motors.The harmonic current heats the stator winding, deteriorating the insulation quickly [37,146].If undetected, a three-phase IM stator winding short circuit starts with an inter-turn fault and progresses to a phase-phase or phase-ground fault.MCSA detects inter-turn faults in inverter-fed IM.If a PWM inverter feeds the machine, MCSA fails due to high-frequency inverter switching, and the current spectrum is noisy, making fault detection difficult.If undetected, a three-phase IM stator winding short circuit starts with an inter-turn fault, and progresses to a phase-phase or phase-ground fault.MCSA detects inter-turn faults in inverter-fed IM.If a PWM inverter feeds, the machine MCSA fails due to highfrequency inverter switching, and the current spectrum is noisy, making fault detection difficult [147,148].The details of the current harmonics that the stator intern short circuit has caused and the two-level inverter's currents harmonic are explained below.

Current Harmonics Due to Stator ITSC Fault
In the case of stator inter-turn short circuits (ITSCs), the number of coil turns is reduced, and the remaining coils are used to carry fault current.A short circuit current reduces the faulty phase's MMF, and the air gap's spatial flux distributions are disturbed [149].The motor's current components at some frequencies are limited to shorted turns.This is described by Equation (1) [150].
where f st is the component related to shorted turn, f g is the fundamental electrical frequency, n is 1, 2, 3, . .., p is pole pairs (number), s is slip (per unit), k = 1, 2, 3.

II-Level Inverter's Current Harmonics
The II-level triangular carrier PWM inverter-fed IM has the per phase voltage in Equation ( 2) [25].
where V dc = DC link voltage, M is Modulation index, ωf is the fundamental frequency, ωc is the carrier frequency, m is the integer, J 0 , & J n are the Bessel functions, and V(t) = fundamental voltage.Equation ( 2) shows the modulation index's analytical function (which is defined as M), while the second and third term reflect the carrier frequency band harmonics.By varying the coefficients ωf, ωc stated in Equation ( 2), the output of the inverter is varied, and the required voltage for the fed induction is achieved.Since the voltages are non-sinusoidal, they are being fed to the motor; they cause the harmonics in the phase current, and most reflecting harmonics are along the side of switching frequency (ωc ± 3ωf, 2ωc) [151].ITSC fault generates the current i f , and the R f fault resistance is reflected as shorted turns in the phase winding undergone to the fault, as shown in Figure 9.

Researchers recently proposed the most efficient and applicable fault diagnostic techniques using the observer coil based FFT analysis and measuring the internal flux methodology [152].Furthermore, coil based FFT analysis and sensors based on the Hall effect are separately installed inside the motor's geometry, which requires extra labor [63].Also, it is not influential for implementation because of being sensitivity-dependent due to load variation, current harmonics, and an unbalanced supply voltage.

The induction motor rotor can undergo the following faults, which are stated below as: 1.
Rotor short circuits.
Rotors can be divided into wound types and squirrel cage types.In the case of the squirrel cage rotor, the windings are a cage of conducting bars that meet at the end ring [153].The wound rotor consists of the winding made on the rotor with different winding topologies.The main faults occur with the motor due to irregular fluctuations and high pulses.Figure 10 shows the rotor bar broken faults within it.

The typical problem with commercial induction motors is BRB faults.The authors of [156] presented the diagnostic techniques based on the existence of the motor current signature analysis.In [157], a low-complexity fault detection algorithm was implemented based on the analytic current signal's sub-Nyquist sampling.The algorithm was tested for BRB-related faults.The proposed techniques in [94] are based on advanced signal processing tools, such as spectrogram, scalogram, and Hilbert-Huang transform.Results demonstrated the effectiveness of these approaches in simulation and experimental validation.The author of [158] adopted SOGI-ANF, a new time domain signal processing algorithm for stator current envelope extraction in induction motors, suitable for embedded devices, and its adaptive nature allows accurate tracking of envelope variations.Based on the literature, Table 6 compares different diagnostic methods.

Bearing mechanical faults contribute to an impact of 40-50% of overall rotating electric machine failures [35].IMs use ball or roller bearings with the rolling element, outer race, inner race, and train (or cage) defects, as shown in Figure 11, due to mechanical stress and bearing currents, poor installation, assembling, temperature rise, and maintenance cause most bearing failures.Pollution or contamination added from outdoors also cause bearing failures due to adverse impact on the bearing lubricant.Dust and liquid contamination entering the seal cause bearing failures [175].Most diagnostic methods for machine electrical and mechanical failures use MCSA [43,176,177].Bearing faults can have the following causes: 1.The rotor vibrates heavily and increases the fatigue stress due to high output load torque; 2. Loss of lubrication brought on by a shaft voltage; Bearing faults can have the following causes: 1.
The rotor vibrates heavily and increases the fatigue stress due to high output load torque; 2.

A high bearing current result in the heat that the shaft can conduct.Different sensor data, such as vibration measurements, motor current, input voltage, stray flux, and temperatures at different motor locations, are used in conventional bearing condition monitoring and diagnostics.
Motor vibration analysis gives the frequencies produced by the failures can be expressed in Equations ( 4)-( 7): where f cage is the cage failure frequency, f outer is the outer race frequency, f inner is the inner race f r quency, f ball is the ball defect frequency, d is the ball diameter, D is the pitch diameter, and f r is the frequency of the rotor (mechanical).

4.5.Common-Mode Voltage (CMV) and Bearing Current Faults Each pulse's voltage waveform at the inverter terminals has steep lines at the start and end.Recent studies have shown that PWM inverter's common-mode voltage (CMV) is the primary reason for this, which creates the bearing current (BC) as a serious side effect [48]; the most effective reasons for this are as follows.

1.
The voltage at the equipment terminals is doubled because of reflections, putting extra strain on the windings' insulation.

2.
In windings, capacitive currents and non-uniform voltage distribution can cause electrical machines to experience a circulating current nominated as a bearing current.

3.
Charges stored in the ground capacitors.
The common-mode voltage and bearing current faults are discussed below.

Common-Mode Voltage (CMV)
PWM inverters usually cause motor bearing failures.Bearing currents, also known as shaft voltages, flow from the shaft through the bearings and must be monitored and diagnosed when PWM inverter sources feed an electric machine.This issue is usually caused by bearing material erosion and mechanical failures like rotor eccentricity, homopolar flux effects, and electrostatic discharge in electric devices [48].Since the phase output voltages alternate between +V dc and −V dc .The neutral-to-ground voltage in a star-connected machine is the zero-sequence voltage, expressed in Equation (12). Figure 14 shows that the voltage change rate and CMV frequency is three times more than the switching frequency.The overall CMV activity is done by the parasitic capacitance, starting from the stator winding point to the rotor [24,27].

3.
Charges are stored in the ground capacitors.
Charging current is generated due to the developed common mode capacitive coupling.It flows from the rotor to the end bearing due to the highest switching application of PWM drives for the induction motor with the high dv/dt.Bearing currents are classified by their courses inside the machine and origin: 1.
Current in rotor-ground.
As depicted in Figure 15, the bearing current I brg comes from a simple inverter with one phase (phase a) and an impedance Z inv between the DC-link and the ground.Stator winding and the rotor create capacitance C wr , which starts charging the rotor shaft current when the inverter current flows into the motor's main windings.C g is the capacitance across the bearing C ws and C wr are parasitic capacitance in motor, respectively.Z inv is the inverter-ground capacitive coupling.This is non-circulating because the bearing current returns to the inverter instead of the machine.Stray capacitances in the stator winding cause bearing leakage currents generated by the parasitic capacitive coupling between the rotor and stator alone.the second circulating current arises due to the electromagnetic induction caused by the stray magnetic flux path field within the winding coils, due to uneven current distributions.

Partial Discharge (PD)
The dielectric of the electric motor insulation system deteriorates with high terminal voltage stresses, transient voltages, and an elevated exchange rate of voltage fed at the output terminal of inverter utilization with the PWM faster wide-bandgap devices (WBG) [228].There is acceleration aging by stimulating partial discharges.Motor terminal surges most often cause drive failure.To avoid motor partial discharge faults, multiple HF motor models have been developed, analyzed, and presented [26,229,230].
The output terminal of the inverter has high voltage gradient attributes (high dv/dt), and high transient frequency generates the partial discharge (PD).Therefore, its output terminal voltage stresses the IM stator winding, and electrical stress at the insulation with a high impact compared with grid-fed machines leads to a permanent insulation failure [231][232][233].Therefore, high-frequency modeling and lumped parameters estimation has been implemented for the condition monitoring and fault diagnostic in IM.This shows the research and development work that has been carried out in critical parameters and overvoltage mitigation to avoid partial discharges.As a result, the PD impacts and accelerated gaining parameters are necessary for effective predictive maintenance through numerical modeling.
Partial discharges lead to the ongoing degradation of the protective enamel, resulting in delamination, erosion, and breakage.These factors caused the conducting surface area in the whole component to register short circuits and signaling through the current relay with autonomous detection, as explained by the authors in [234,235].There are four types of PDs, as depicted in Figure 18.

Summary and Future Directions
Modern drives operated by WBG-based power electronic converters are more effective when used in electric traction or propulsion systems because they work better, are more portable, and have fewer moving parts than traditional Si-based drives.The main challenges affecting the reliable operation of electric are the sharp pulse steps with large over-voltage transients and high-switching frequency in the operation of inverters observed at motor input terminals.The impact of the inverter on the electric machines must be considered according to the faults, and, hence, its CM and FD increase their service life.In the case of inverter-operated machines, the complexity level of segregating the fault frequency trances and investigation becomes higher.
Limitations such as discontinuities in available data, a lower sampling rate of the sensor signals, and fractional signal data at the start and end lead to enduring spectral leakage when applying some FFT algorithms.Spectrum resolution also has limitations for some of its complexity in the available fault condition monitoring and diagnostics.The application of advanced signal processing techniques makes the process more extensively complex, and places a high computational burden on addressing the abovementioned issues.Therefore, there is good research potential in simple algorithm development to improve the spectrum resolution without the complexity of advanced signal processing techniques.Furthermore, based on the research gap, some recent directions and research ideas for future studies in CM and FD for IM operated by PWM high-frequency inverters are stated below and explained in detail.

1.
FD in IM fed with high-frequency PWM inverter: Research into the impact of highfrequency PWM switching on the motor insulation, partial discharge impacts, bearing mechanical faults, common-mode voltage adverse effects, and other components, and to foster techniques to detect and diagnose faults specifically related to the PWM operation.

2.
Sensor-less fault detection techniques: Analyze some of the advanced sensorless FD techniques that can be used to supervise the condition and identify the faults in IM, without relying on additional usages of the sensor's entity, without much complexity, and overall cost of FD strategic implementation, 3.
FD with machine learning (ML): This area highlights the investigation related to applying machine learning algorithms, such as deep learning or reinforcement learning, with improved models of high accuracy in IM operated by high PWM inverters.

4.
FD in multi-level inverters: This is also a potential research area to study the impact of multi-level PWM inverters on motor operation, output performance, transient response caused to load changes, operation in high-speed environments, and flux weaken range, while operating in wide-beyond speed, tailored to the characteristics of multi-level modulation techniques. 5.
Condition monitoring in harsh environments: Development of robust fault diagnostic technique suitable for IM operated in harsh environments, such as in the zone of extremely high temperature, high humidity, contaminated environments, and the high duty cycle of operation, which create indigenous faults within IM.The robustness defines the compactness of the algorithm or FD techniques, which shows insensitivity in its output, with some changes in input-sensitive parameters.The probability of robustness can be analyzed through different statical analyses and analytical techniques, especially in the time domain signal analysis that include RMS value, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, high statical moments.It can be enhanced with optimization algorithms, such as particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithms, and other naturally inspired algorithms.6.
IoT for remote access: The most feasible and influential process can be implemented by exploring the IoT integration techniques with FD.Real-time remote monitoring of IM operated by a high transient inverter allows continuous time monitoring and early detection from anywhere.7.
Model-based predictive maintenance: For this type of FD, state-of-the-art, physicsbased IM models; real-time sensor instrumentation; and measurement capability can be utilized to establish a FD scheme for predictive maintenance strategy.For the highperformance output of FD technique, the maintenance schedule can be optimized to minimize the IM motor's downtime.8.
FD in mechanical faults: Examine methods for fault identification and diagnosis in bearing, e.g., outer, inner race, and roller fault.Examples of rotor faults include broken rotor (BRB) faults and eccentricity.It is necessary to consider the one-of-a-kind difficulties and negative impact that high-PWM inverters present.9.
Online-parameter estimation: Developing the online-parameter estimation methods to accurately access the motor parameters, which can detect the fault and generate a potentially viable solution for FD.These parameters are resistance, inductances, load torque, and speed response, which vary with IM operation and employ monitoring criteria and algorithms for the FD. 10.Hybrid FD techniques: A good combination of numerous techniques, such as advanced signal processing techniques, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and model-based techniques, can be used to create a hybrid FD approach that can improve overall performance and reliability by taking advantage of the strengths inherent in each diagnostic procedure.
The above-described directions can provide an area for new research in the field of CM and FD.
