Abstract
A method and device of determining a fault condition in a synchronous motor including a rotor provided with damper bars and an end ring to which the damper bars are mechanically connected thereby forming a damper cage, wherein the method includes: obtaining a first measurement of an end ring current from a first location along the end ring, processing the first measurement to thereby obtain a processing result, and determining whether a fault condition is present in the synchronous motor based on the processing result.
