Separating induction motor noise sources can provide an important reference basis for induction motor condition detection, noise reduction treatment, and fault diagnosis. Induction motors have different types of noise sources that partially overlap, and most radiate outward through the housing, so it is difficult to separate these noise sources. Therefore, a single-channel induction motor noise source separation and identification method, based on adaptive scale-space modal extraction (ASSME) is proposed. Firstly, the adaptive scale-space mode extraction method is proposed by constructing the electromagnetic feature scale space and the adaptive penalty factor. The simulation results show that this method solves over-decomposition problems in the classical scale-space variational mode decomposition and the difficulty in balancing the harmonic and shock modes. Secondly, motor noise experiments are conducted to construct blind source separation multi-channel inputs using the adaptive scale-space modal extraction method, judging the validity of the modal components using correlation and the variance contribution rate. Finally, robust independent component analysis (RobustICA) is used to extract independent noise components and identify these noise sources by power spectral density and envelope analysis. The results show that the multi-channel input signals obtained by the proposed method are more accurate and practical than those obtained by other methods. The independent components extracted through this noise source separation method are: electromagnetic noise of different orders, aerodynamic noise, and switching frequency noise.
