The induction motor is one of the most used electric machines in variable speed system in the different field of industry due to its robustness, mechanical strength and low cost. Despite these qualities, the induction machine is subjected during its operation to a number of constraints of various natures (electrical, mechanical and environmental). This paper focuses on the diagnosis and the detection of the short circuit fault between turns in the stator winding of an induction machine, based on analyzing the evolution of the stator current in each stator phase, using tools based both on motor current spectral analysis and Park vector approach. A study by simulation was presented. The obtained results show that the considered methods can effectively diagnose and detect abnormal operating conditions in induction motor applications. Therefore, they clearly show the possibility of extracting signatures and the application of these techniques offered reliable and satisfactory results for the diagnosis and detection of such fault.
