Due to their rugged build, simplicity and cost effective performance, induction motors are used in a vast number of industries, where they play a significant role in responsible operations, where faults and downtimes are either not desirable or even unthinkable. As different faults can affect the performance of the induction motors, among them broken rotor bars, it is important to have a certain condition monitoring or diagnostic system that is guarding the state of the motor. This paper deals with induction motor broken rotor bars detection, using Clarke vector approach.References
