used to identify and differentiate between faults, such as motor overheat and inverter overload.
Sequential Analysis:

suitable measures can be taken at a fraction of seconds through slowing the motor
or by diverting the power flow.
Fault Logging:
For further analysis and improving the model, all faults found, along with their timestamps, and
sensor readings must be logged.
