Abstract: A motor fault detecting method and a motor fault detecting system are provided. An electrical frequency and sensing current data of a brushless motor is obtained. An empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is performed on the sensing current data to obtain intrinsic mode functions (IMF). A feature IMF is obtained from the IMFs, in which the feature IMF is feature current data, and a frequency of the feature current data complies with the electrical frequency of the brushless motor. An electrical impedance is calculated according to an input voltage of the brushless motor and the feature current data. The electrical impedance is compared with a reference electrical impedance to determine if the brushless motor is abnormal. The reference electrical impedance is calculated according to training sensing current data of a training brushless motor which is in a healthy state. Accordingly, whether the brushless motor is abnormal is effectively determined.
