The rotor broken bars and broken end-ring segments faults are studied thoroughly including their effects on the rotor bar currents distribution, the forces exerted on the rotor bars, the motor speed and motor torque. The tangential and radial forces affecting the rotor bars was calculated at different fault cases using finite elements analysis ER -
