The paper discusses the spectral markers of fault rotor bars in induction motor current signature analysis (MCSA). The results of the simulation of the deterioration process for a single rotor bar, as well as the results of research for various mutual bracing of two broken bars, are reported. We proposed a simple empiric technique allowing one to obtain frequencies for spectrum markers of damaged rotor bars based on simulation analysis. The set of frequencies obtained in the experimental part of the study was compared with simulation results and the results of real-life measurements. The theoretical results were verified through the experiment with the real induction motor under load. Analysis of experimental results proved that the given algorithm for spectrum analysis is suitable for early detection of fault rotor bars in induction motors.
