Abstract:In this paper,a method used to simulate the squirrel-cage motors with rotor-barand end-ring faults is presented. In our analysis,the stator is still represented by three-phase windings,but each loop of the rotor is considered as a single-phase winding,so it is convenient to describethe situation of the motor with any number of broken rotor-bar and end-ring.Compared with othermethods,the method of this paper can be used to analyse both the steady-stats and the transient stateof cage motor with rotor faults.
