A system and method for detecting, localizing and quantifying stator winding faults in AC electrical machines is disclosed. A diagnostic system configured to detect a stator winding fault in an AC electrical machine includes a processor programmed to receive measurements of three-phase voltages and currents provided to the AC electrical machine from voltage and current sensors associated with the electrical distribution circuit, compute positive, negative and zero sequence components of voltage and current from the three-phase voltages and currents, and calculate a fault severity index (FSI) based on at least a portion of the positive, negative and zero sequence components of voltage and current, wherein calculating the FSI further comprises identifying a voltage gain in one or more phases of the AC electrical machine due to a stator winding fault and localizing the stator winding fault to one or more phases in the AC electrical machine.

A system and method for detecting and localizing excess voltage drop in single or multiple phases of three-phase AC circuits is disclosed. An electrical distribution circuit is provided that includes an input connectable to an AC source, an output connectable to terminals of an electrical machine, the output configured to provide three-phase voltages and currents to the electrical machine, and a diagnostic system configured to detect an excess voltage drop (EVD) in the electrical distribution circuit. The diagnostic system includes a processor that is programmed to receive measurements of the three-phase voltages and currents provided to the electrical machine, compute a negative sequence voltage from the three-phase voltages and currents, determine a localization reference phase angle for each phase based in part on the three-phase voltages and currents, and calculate an EVD in the electrical distribution circuit based on the negative sequence voltage and the localization reference phase angles.
