The squirrel cage rotors of induction motors may have several faults such as broken bars, bad spots in end ring and abnormal skew caused by improper processing. These faults may cause bad effects on the performance of the induction motor. This paper proposes the detecting technique of these faults by analyzing the induced current of the detecting electric magnet, using 2-D finite element method taking account of the rotor movement.
