  • Abstract
    The squirrel cage induction motor has limitations, which, if exceeded, will result in premature failure of the stator or rotor. The authors identify the various causes of stator and rotor failures. A specific methodology is proposed to facilitate an accurate analysis of these failures. Failures of the bearings and lubrication systems are excluded
