The present paper addresses a precise and an accurate mathematical model for three-phase squirrel cage induction motors, based on winding function theory. Through an analytical development, a comparative way is presented to separate the signature between the existence of the outer race bearing fault and the static eccentricity concerning the asymmetry of the air gap between the stator and the rotor. This analytical model proposes an effective signature of outer race defect separately from other signatures of static eccentricity. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed analytical model.
