The simulation results are obtained by using time stepping finite elements (TSFE) method. In order to show the impact of magnetic saturation upon the diagnosis of SE fault, the analysis is carried out for saturated induction motors. The index signatures of static eccentricity fault around fundamental and PSHs are detected successfully for saturated motor.enInduction motor, static eccentricity (SE), time stepping finite elements (TSFE) method, air-gap magnetic flux signature analysis (FSA), magnetic saturation.Article
