Abstract
This paper presents a new method of inter-turn short-circuit detection in cage induction motors. The method is based on experimental data recorded during load changes. Measured signals were analyzed using a genetic algorithm. This algorithm was next used in the diagnostics procedure. The correctness of fault detection was verified during experimental tests for various configurations of inter-turn short-circuits. The tests were run for several relevant diagnostic signals that contain symptoms of faults in an examined cage induction motor. The proposed algorithm of inter-turn short-circuit detection for various levels of winding damage and for various loads of the examined motor allows one to state the usefulness of this diagnostic method in normal industry conditions of motor exploitation.

Abstract
This paper presents some considerations regarding the application of the stator zero-sequence current component (ZSC) in the fault detection of cage induction machines, including the effects of magnetic core saturation. Faults such as rotor cage asymmetry and static, dynamic, and mixed eccentricity were considered. The research started by developing a harmonic motor model, which allowed us to obtain a voltage equation for the zero-sequence current component. The equation allowed us to extract formulas of typical frequencies for particular fault types. Next, in order to verify the effectiveness of ZSC in induction motor fault diagnosis, finite element calculations and laboratory tests were carried out for the previously mentioned faults for delta and wye connections with neutral wire stator winding configurations.
